Obama Featured In Turban On Jihad Billboard

November 23. 2009       

A car dealer, Phil Wolf, erected a billboard featuring dual images of U.S. President, Barack Obama, dressed in a men's suit and in traditional Muslim garb in a separate photo, with the words "Jihad" and "Where is the birth certificate" emblazoned at the top of the sign. His business was inundated with complaints, angry phone calls and bomb threats as a result.

The billboard is quite controversial and striking and he should have expected it to draw some criticism, but the bomb threats are illegal and need to desist.

Protestors gather at billboard comparing Obama to terrorists

WHEAT RIDGE - The owner of a local auto dealership has gotten international attention after putting up a controversial billboard about President Barack Obama.

Phil Wolf, the man behind the billboard and Wolf Interstate Leasing and Sales says he wishes he was better prepared for the flood of reaction to the sign.

The sign asks if President Obama is a terrorist and if he's really an American citizen by birth. Part of the sign also references the recent tragedy at Fort Hood...

"I can't say I expected everything that's been going on with the responses we got," Wolf said. He says his business has been overwhelmed with phone calls. Some callers have threatened both Wolf and his employees.

Wolf says he's accepting the risk and the backlash he may receive.

"We've had calls as far as Canada to Florida. We've had calls all over the country," Wolf said. "I didn't expect employees to leave scared going home from work that were threatened, death threats and attempts to bomb the place. It's been pretty crazy out there."

Wolf says his main reason for creating this billboard was to bring attention to the men and women who died at Fort Hood and to ask questions about Obama he says haven't been answered.

"It may be a little scattered. It says several things. It brings us several questions and I think they got to be answered," Wolf said...
