Call it Freedom of Speech. A billboard recently erected in Wheat Ridge compares President Barack Obama to a terrorist and questions his US citizenship.

The billboard, located at 4855 Miller Road, shows two cartoonish images of Obama wearing a Muslim turban and reads “President or Jihad?”
It also says “Birth certificate - prove it!” alluding to the conspiracy theory which claims Barack Obama was born in Kenya rather than Hawaii, which would disqualify him for the office of President.

A car dealership

The words “Wake up America! remember FT. Hood!” appear on the bottom of the billboard.The sign belongs to a car dealership.

“Since Fort Hood, I’ve had it,” owner Phil Wolf told FOX 31 News Friday. “You can’t suggest things. You can’t profile. You gotta call a spade a spade.”“Everything I have read about Mr Obama points right to the fact that he is a Muslim. And that is the agenda of what Muslim is all about.

It’s about anti-American, it’s about anti-Christianity,” Mr Wolf said. The Anti-Defamation League condemned the sign, as did AM760 radio host David Sirota, who discussed the sign and interviewed Mr Wolf on his programme on Friday morning.
“It’s out of control,” Mr Sirota said.

While the ADL issued a statement calling the billboard an exploitation of the Ft. Hood shootings that is “divisive and offensive, and perpetuates hateful and harmful stereotypes about Muslims”, prominent conservatives have been silent thus far.

“That could suggest that conservative leaders are afraid to confront the extreme fringe of their base,” Mr Sirota said.

“I’m not concerned with that at all,” said Linda Alexander, of Golden, in regard to the dispute over President Obama’s American citizenship.

“He was elected, he’s the president — that’s it, as far as I’m concerned. Some people just can’t accept that, obviously.”But Keith Walters, another passing driver, saw nothing wrong with the billboard.“I can’t honestly say he’s a Jihadist, but there’s a lot of things that are questionable,” Walters said.

“The whole birth certificate controversy. From what I’ve read, there’s no proof Obama isn’t a Muslim. And I don’t believe there’s any racism [in the billboard]. I think that should be a question asked to any president who — they have some questionable backgrounds.”Supporters of the birth certificate theory believe the Certification of Live Birth produced by the state of Hawaii is a forgery.

As far as ignorance is concerned, Americans truly lead the world. The average American does not know what happens in the next state leave alone stuff like Africa is a continent. Explaining that not every Muslim or person of Middle Eastern origins or even looks is a terrorist?? Well. I don't wanna be the one doing that.

Most Americans can think are not exposed to the world. The Us army, marines and AF are aware of what is going on beyond the boarders. So don't worry. Take heart pple!! Obama is ok and doing the best he can. Only the illiterate whites feel unsafe coz they are cornered. Not all wazungus are bright.Many are damn asses n are challenges with his smart thinking. He is American, they cant deny its. Mcain was born in a us army base n he became american why not obama in Hawaii, a US territory?

When will these doubting Thomas accept Obama is here to stay until the good Lord decides otherwise? Oh how they could use their energies on other problems facing the US! Sometimes I feel like we blacks have brought it on ourselves right here in Africa - see how we govern wonderful countries into ruins? Lets all prove we are capable of doing better than we are doing in Africa today!
