THE STATE JOURNAL-REGISTER

Posted Jun 13, 2009 @ 12:53 AM

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
A vandal spray-painted the number “420” on the cheek of a giant traveling head of President Barack Obama while it was parked in downtown Springfield Friday morning.

The statue, which consists of a large Obama head pulled on one trailer, and its giant shoulders and chest pulled on a second trailer, is making its way across the country to Presidents’ Park in South Dakota.

While the statue was parked at Sixth and Adams streets overnight, someone spray-painted the graffiti on the right cheek with green paint between 3:45 and 6 a.m. Springfield police said the owner was able to repair the damage.

According to the Anti-Defamation League Web site, “4/20,” the anniversary of Adolf Hitler’s birthday, is “used as a tattoo by racists and neo-Nazis to affirm their belief in the ideals of National Socialism. A common but very different meaning for “4/20 (or “4:20” or “420”) is as a slang term associated with smoking marijuana.”

For more information about the statue and its destination, visit www.obamatour.net. The statue was in Springfield until 2 p.m. Friday and was heading to Chicago next.

I'm surprised a pot head would tag up fearless leader.

Maybe he thought through his foggy stupor that the kenyan would approve?

The guy who makes all the giant president heads used to have them all stashed out in the warehouse district in Houston. I guess he has finally started moving a lot of them to various exhibits and freeways. Here I am enjoying the company of Honest Abe.

Yeah April 20 is Hitler's birthday, also the same day as the columbine attack.

Pot heads use it (they don't know this) in honor of Krystellnact <––-no Idea how to spell it "Night of the Broken glass" germans we're instructed to go out and party and destroy everything Jewish by Hitler.

Somewhere along the line, one of the leftist hippie socialist fuckheads, thought celebrating his birthday with a doper holiday would be a great idea.

Fucking morons.

This asshole has been in office for less than a year and he has a traveling statue???

Does anyone find this very surreal and very strange???

I don't think Obama is the AntiChrist but he sure does think a lot of himself...They are paving the way for idol worship..This is so demonic that it is very surreal and immensely eye opening!

<< Revelation 13 >>
King James Bible
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having
seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name
of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the
feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power,
and his seat, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to
death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they
worshipped the beast, saying,Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was
given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in
blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that
dwell in heaven.

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was
given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth
shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the
foundation of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10 He that leadeth into captivity
shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the
patience and the faith of the saints.

11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb,
and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him,
and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly
wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from
heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the
means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that
dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a
sword, and did live. 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image
of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast
should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,
to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell,
save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom.Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for
it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

It's just a private artists doing it for fame. I'm pretty sure Obama had nothing to do with it.

I'll bet it was Nazis. No way they'd ever use swastikas, SS runes, 14/88, or anything that was recognizeable as Nazi graffiti. They'd go with 4:20, the least common and most ambiguous NeoNazi symbol known to man.
