It's a better tribute than Obama deserves...
TUCUMCARI, N.M. — Just a stone’s-throw away from historic Route 66 in Tucumcari sits a sign that everyone’s talking about.
The sign sits atop an outhouse and says “Obama’s Presidential Library.”
Some in town say it’s in bad taste, while others support it. Either
way, everyone knows about it. One man said people have been treating it
like a tourist destination, taking pictures all the time.
As for the man who put it up, he refused to give Target 7 his name or
reveal what prompted him to construct the controversial commode, but he
said he has no intention of taking it down.
“It’s like watching TV. If you don’t like what the hell you’re
watching, turn the channel,” said the man who put up the sign. “I’m not
even certain he even deserves that level of respect, but that’s my
opinion.”
Target 7 contacted city manager Doug Powers to see if the city was
doing anything about the sign. He said he hasn’t seen it yet, but will
go to the site soon to see if it’s breaking any city codes. However,
when it comes to the message, Powers thinks the city doesn’t have
control over what people say.
