Hello and Good Morning,


On the way to work this morning I was completely distracted then horrified to see a large banner sign hanging over the overpass of a bridge (not sure which bridge) that stated the following, "Vote for Obama. Don't Vote for
McCain. Praise Allah" it then had an "x" over the US flag.

This racist and culturalist brand of counter marketing is even more disturbing on a local level. Im just sorry I couldnt snap a picture in enough time.

This vile stunt won't put even a minor dent in Barack Obama's landslide victory in New Jersey.

More likely it was organized by a local Repub group. I put nothing past them anymore.

I wish I could say that this surprises me. That my fellow tri-state area denizens would be wise enough to not succumb to this. The saddest part of all is that the person(s) who made and hung this probably stand to benefit the most from Obama's policies.
