I really had to laugh about the article about the George W. Bush "Miss me yet" billboard. When I first spotted this, I assumed that it was meant as a joke by some of our left-leaning friends. "God, no, we don't miss you yet," we all hollered in the car as we sailed down the highway. We were so happy that someone out there thought it was important to remind us of how bad we actually had it before President Obama set about making things better for our world. And now to find that it might actually have been done by a group of "concerned small businessmen" makes it all that much funnier. Thanks, guys! JIM SMART, MINNEAPOLIS
