Where did the "Miss Me Yet?" Bush billboard come from? A billboard appeared in I-35 near Wyoming, MN that depicts former President George W. Bush with the text, "Miss Me Yet?". The question is, who put it up? There is no ownership or sponsorship info on the billboard, so it's hard to tell if it's some sort of Tea Party/anti-Obama thing, or a joke.

So far, Minnesota Public Radio's Bob Collins, but so far can find nothing regarding the architects (as it were) of the bizarre "Miss Me Yet?" Bush billboard.

Miss Me Yet Billboard Update

CNN is now reporting that a group of businessmen who wish remain anonymous paid for the Miss Me Yet Billboard

At first glance, it would seem to be from some person or group who isn't thrilled by President Barack Obama's performance so far -- unless it's a more ironic message from those who didn't think too much of Bush and want to remind voters about him.

Oh, and to answer the question... no. Oliver Willis also says "no", but says it several times.

Well, it has to be some one with to much money, since those bill board adds are not cheep.

According to NPR, it is a group of small businessmen in Minnesota that got together - sort of a protest against Obamanomics - or lack thereof

Well, that's curious. LOL

But I can't help asking why a video instead of stills when there's no audio and no movement of the camera?

Because, at the time of posting, the video was the fastest to get hold of without stealing someone's photo

I miss Bushisms, he should still occasionally do press conferences. Then let us vote with our shoes

This story is getting covered all over the Right leaning blogs now. Funny. Problem is that Obama and Bush liked to spend money we don't have. I am missing Ronald Reagan or even Clinton more.
