Racist anti Barack Obama billboard Colorado, Oct 18 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Authorities in the United States have taken down a billboard that depicts the country’s president as gay, terrorist, gangster and a Mexican bandit in Western Colorado.

The artist responsible for the signboard realized that his depiction of the man at the highest seat in the United States did not please everybody as both local Republicans and Democrats joined hands to severely criticize the billboard.

The artist, Paul Snover was obviously regretful of his actions but he refused to name the sponsor of the billboard. He however said he has received quite a handful of “very hateful” calls and emails since he posted erected the billboard.

The company that printed the billboard revealed that they were glad the billboard had been pulled down because according to them they were getting calls everywhere for the billboards.


The president of the United States, President Barack Obama has seen his popularity dip so much since he assumed the highest office in the country. Recent polls have all suggested that the president is now very unpopular among voters.

Americans head to the polls on November 2 for the country’s midterm elections.
