"ELUSIVE", my ass

Chico pastor elusive about meaning of "American" sign

CHICO -- The sign in front of Pleasant Valley Baptist Church carried the message "Vote for the American!" last week.

What did it mean?

Tim Ruhl, the church's pastor, wouldn't say, when the Enterprise-Record asked him Monday.
"You can take it a thousand ways," he said, adding that it could mean "vote for the American way."

Some people took it to be a recommendation to vote for Mitt Romney instead of President Obama — a reference to the notion that Obama was born outside America and is not actually an American.
