We Still Have a Constitution! - for now -Metro chief: Offended by anti-Obama ad but powerless to remove it

Maybe someone should remind the Metro chief and Dem. Congressman Moron that Obama is not a deity.

Metro chief: Offended by anti-Obama ad but powerless to remove it - The Hill's Transportation Report

By Keith Laing - 03/02/12

The chief of Washington Metro said Friday that he was deeply offended by an advertisement in one of its subway stations that criticizes President Obama, even as he reiterated that his agency could not remove the ad.

Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) General Manager Richard Sarles wrote an email to employees of the transit agency explaining his position on the ad, which includes the phrase “Go to hell, Barack.” The ad, which appears in the Clarendon, Va., Metro station, is for a film that is critical of the federal healthcare law.

Sarles said he asked the maker of the advertisement, which he said is a Los Angeles-based company called Freestar Movie LLC, to remove or modify the ad, but the company declined.
