| "Niggardly" Obama Sign Causing Controversy |
|
Advertisements [?]
 (NewsCore) - A sign outside a northern California business that accuses President Obama of being “niggardly” is causing controversy among locals, KTXL-TV reported Wednesday. The sign, located along a freeway in Acampo, Calif. says “Obama = niggardly” and that he “hurts small biz.” Another part of the sign reads “Buck Ofama.” One motorist told KTXL that the sign was associated with the Sunny Rose Cafe in Acampo. A telephone listing for the business on Google was disconnected, according to KTXL. The word "niggardly," despite sounding like a racial epithet, actually means " grudgingly mean about spending or granting” according to Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary and is believed to have its origin prior to that of the racial slur. more . . . http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpps/news/dpgonc-niggardly-obama-sign-causing-controversy-mh-20100331_6850877 |
