A better “Miss Me Yet?” billboard
I’m not the only one with misgivings about the Bush “Miss Me Yet?” billboard.
Reader W.E. Messamore came up with some new and improved “Miss Me Yet?” billboard photoshops, including my favorite:
Bull’s-eye. Definitely want to see someone put this one up for real!

I prefer the Dubya photo, but the Constitution is more powerful.
Tuesday night smackdown.
THAT IS AWESOME!
OUTSTANDING!
THE CONSTITUTION IS WHAT WE ARE MISSING.
Now that one I like!
WOW. Me too! How can we make it happen? I’m definitely in.
This has got to be on private property, right?
I’ll pitch in to put one up!
I would too.
I would branch out and do a “Have you seen me?” Milk carton campaign too. More people would actually read it. For many people, cereal boxes and milk cartons are about the only reading they do all day.
I like it! Hopefully there will be one soon that says: “How’s that Hope and Change workin’ out for ya?”
Agreed; this tops it.
The U.S. Constitution is a WINNER every time it’s tried.
Perfect for Chicago (and New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Atlanta, Boston, Minneapolis, Detroit, Kansas City…).
They say great minds think alike… I was thinking the same thing just the other day, why not put the U.S. Constitution in place of President Bush’s Miss me Yet picture.
Considering that we still have the Constitution…I miss Pres. Bush’s leadership in the White House. I miss him as Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Forces. I feel sorry for the men and women serving under the Obama.
Absolutely incredibly AWESOME!!!
Cheney’s picture would have worked too…at least I think so.
More to the point, for me at least, is the rising interest in, and concern for, the Constitution I see in those around me.
Democrats and Republicans, Independents and “Decline to state”, many with whom I have conversations are displaying more depths concerning the nature of the what a “living document” our founding ideal ISN’T!
Many who just a year ago had no idea of the incremental erosion of our true personal liberties guaranteed by the Constitution are now aware of the great danger they face. This is a gooooood thing…
I like this version much better.
I’d put up a sawbuck or two for that.
Spot on!
I also would love to see the words “Conservative Republicans” on the side of milk cartons, with the word “Missing!” above it.
Date of disappearance: the last day of the Reagan Presidency.
I wonder how many of today’s sheeple would even know what the thing on the right is? “Ummm, is that a spell scroll from Harry Potter?”
I like Pasadena Phil’s milk carton idea. In fact, I would like to extend the promotion to include:
“Have you seen me? I’m common sense. I was last seen on trial, accused by a personal injury lawyer and overseen by an obliging judge. Do not look in Washington D.C. as I have not been there in decades.”
You have this much of hate on Bush?
No Anita few if any of us hate President Bush-any of them. We do miss Constitutional Law although none of us lived in an era where it was well respected. Some integrity, courage and the willingness to hit back would be nice.
We wish them well in their retirement-both of them.
Speaking of missing someone, I saw that Phil Harris (Deadliest Catch) had a massive stroke and passed away. He was the skipper of the “Cornellia Marie”. I liked the guy, not so much his 2 sons.
Bingo. (W tried to desecrate it too with his power grabs.)
Thank you. Don’t you think MSM shrunk to its’ lowest during Bush era? I thought ignoring them played a big part in that.
Super-size the section that says “WE THE PEOPLE.” Just a minor tweak from an ad guy.
But that would be genius plastered all over the country!
I don’t hate anyone. I DO hate progressive ideology, though, and Dubya is a progressive. He’s not as bad as McCain, but that isn’t saying much.
There are times when I wished that the crazed idiot Al Gore had managed to win HIS OWN STATE during 2000 election, so we wouldn’t have had to put up with listening to the media and pundits whine and moan about every little thing that happened during Bush’s presidency. The only problem with THAT scenario is that McCain might have been the GOP candidate in 2004, and he’s infinitely worse than Bush.
Considering all the hate that was ginned up by the extreme left and MSM for 8 years, Bush did the best he could with what he had to work with, and still managed to run 2 wars in order to protect us from radical Islam.
Now that very same extreme left (and the MSM) are in control, and safety has gone out the window.
In that regard, yes, I miss Bush.
The Constitution, the great document that attests to the genius of our forefathers.
To what document will we look that attests to the genius of our current statesmen? Healthcare bill? Chinese loan aggreements?
Forefathers, genius, today’s Government leaders, not so much.
GWBs “problem” is that he had a great, great honor for the office of the President; after WJC soiled it with his “affairs”. GWB had nothing but complete respect for his office in such a way that he refused to use it as a political tool. In the long run, this hurt him as he never responded to the
wrongleft wing kooks that would admonish him daily.He never waivered trying to appease the
wrongleft, thinking they would like him some day. Had he fought the dems with the same tenacity he fought the terrorists (for the first couple of years, at least), the GOP may not have suffered so many losses on 2006.What is sorely overlooked by almost all politicians and so called leaders, is that we are a nation of laws, not men. The ultimate law is the constitution. When and if that is placed in its proper perspective, we will be a better nation and people.
A pay stub might also suffice as a picture for that caption.
WOW !
I love the billboard. How much does it cost to display one of these? I think Michelle should start taking up donations from us commenters and other conservative bloggers, and we should put one of these up in DC.
Agreed.
No question.
Hands down.
cntryjoe: Saw a photo of Obama meeting in the Oval Office with some senior advisors. While the staff respectfully stood around the Resolute desk, Duh One had his feet propped up on the desk with his seat in full recline mode. That shows ZERO respect for the office and in many cultures around the world it is also a sign of great disrespect to point the bottom of your shoe at someone.
Also, didn’t his mother or grandma ever teach him to keep his feet off the furniture?
BTW, got to ask you, how are the fish?
I think it would be a great billboard. Unfortunately I doubt half the country would even know what they are looking at and the message would go right over their head.
nail49 – the nickname was given to me due to my listening to country music and not any anti-war band. But, thanks for the question!
Speaking of the Oval office, I believe it was Reagan who prohibited anyone being in his office WITHOUT a suit jacket/sport coat. I don’t know if Bush kept those rules, though. I did admire his respect for the office.
I wonder what percentage of people, driving by, would ask, “What is that?” Quite a few, I would bet.
Thank you!!! I’m glad I’m not the only one. When I first saw this story about W, I paused, thought to myself, and answered an empatic; NO! Then thought again and said, “I DO miss Reagan.”
I’m not totally convinced that a conservative is responsible for the Bush board. The current “movement” isn’t mostly Bush lovers. We may have voted for him, but he and his family run counter to the limited government message. If the left can convince the Independents that the Tea Party is about more of the same (Bush), it will fall apart.
W and his Dad are a large reason the communists have gotten the White House in the first place. The RNC then continued their slide to the left, trodding out McCain. He’s not what we wanted either, after holding our nose to vote for Bush (twice), the RNC lost the nation’s support.
I hope we can get out the message that, no, we don’t want Bush back or anymore like him. He only backed tax breaks to get enough support for his massive increase in government spending.
There is no way I want to be included in the mindset of this ad. I love the one with the Constitution and think that is perfect.
Also willing to wipe his nasty feet off on the constitution.
Hmmmm… there was talk that it was an “anonymous” group of small business owners that were responsible, but that sounds fishy to me because Bush’s cronies were trying to kill any small businesses that threatened the authorized money pots.
This one is genius and deserves to be up around the country. Surely someone will pony up the dough?
For those defending Bush, I suggest that 1/2 cup of cyanide (socialism) is in no way better than a full cup.
Bush gave us 1/3 cup, McCain would have been 2/3…with Obama, we get the full cup. In all cases, the Constitution was/would have been/is ignored.
So yes, I’m thankful to GWB for a few things, however, I don’t thank him one iota for his 1/3 cup of cyanide.
Maybe, but what do you miss the most…Dubya or the Constitution??
I like the “Miss me yet” billboard idea, but I would consider what the CEO of Hobby Lobby does every Christmas and Easter.
He takes out a full page ad about these two Christian holydays and the importance of Jesus Christ in various newspapers across the country a couple of days leading up to the holyday.
Take out a full page ad in USA Today and you get more people to see it.

The Constitution has not gone anywhere. It is still there.
If the Constitution is gone, it happened a long time ago when Social(ism) Security, MediCare, Medicade, subsidized flood insurance, commodity price supports, FDIC, PGC, public schools, etc. came into being. Because, those things are not in the Constitution.
Yep, go ahead and miss the Constitution, but it has been missing for a long while, if you think it is missing now for any reason recent thing that is being done now.
Can anyone interpret this? It must be in a foreign tongue or maybe Ebonics.
That’s a great billboard it should go up all over the country.
I agree and I’ll contribute some $. Take the “Yet” off the sign. I want school kids to look at that and ask their teachers what it means.
IMO, I do believe it took the present administration to wake us up. Bush brought us to the cliff and Pelosi/Reid/Obama pushed us over.
Great billboard. Spot on.
Agree with you GladzKrvtz – ditch the yet. I voted for Bush twice but was disappointed during his second term for his obvious “bipartisan” dealings with the Dems. IMO, he gave up his courage so somebody across the aisle would like him.
FANTASTIC! Spread it all over our country!
Are you smarter than an 1828 fifth grader?
Download for free an important catechism that was used to teach elementary school students about the Constitution:
In today’s society, the POTUS is generally given too much credit or assigned too much blame, in my opinion. It took more than one person to get this country into the mess that it’s in at the moment, and even though Bush had to deal with a Democrat controlled Congress after the 2006 elections, it seems that too many people still want to put all of the blame on Bush. When the financial crisis occurred in late 2008, I felt that this was going to put a serious cramp into the economy, and I felt that whoever was elected President would not be able to turn it around and would end up being a one term President. Given the standing of the Republicans during the 2008 elections, I believe that a President McCain, had it come about, would have decimated the Republican party. Although McCain would have treated the office with far more dignity than Obama has, I’m really not convinced that McCain would have been any better with promoting policies towards economic growth. I agree with the poster in that he likely would have accelerated the move towards a more socialistic government.
Let me explain it to you.
The thing that is missing is the Constitution, but it only appears to be missing but was actually replaced some time ago. Recently, things were done regarding the Constitution, not in the past as earlier suspected.
Is that clear now?
Michelle,
I agree with your Bush sentiments, I just disagree with your take on the “Miss Me Yet” ad’s point – it’s not that we loved Bush 100%, it’s just that the public is so anti-Obama, and we want to point out that while not perfect, Bush is 1000 times better than the socialist ‘progressives’ currently abusing their power.
One of the very few times I disagree with you Michelle. Some Liberal is going to pick this up and say “See? Even Michelle Malkin hates the George Bush billboard”. I’m with Ann Coulter. Don’t give Liberals anything. Nothing. At all.
I have to say I’m kinda’ pissed that you keep dumping on the bill board. But that’s just me.
Comparing the two sign concepts is to compare apples and oranges.
My first question about the Constitutional reference would be, “What’s missing?” The Constitution is still there, although it’s under assault it hasn’t been taken away.
In fact, the biggest problem we’ve had with the Constitution hasn’t been its curtailment, but rather that there are a lot of people who are convinced that it contains more than meets the eye:
- The “right” to abortions;
- The “right” not to be offended;
- The “right” to have government-provided health care;
- The “right” of illegal foreign combatants to Miranda warnings and access to the civil judicial system.
I swear, I can’t find those written anywhere in the document. But then again, I don’t have a pair of those funky invisible-ink reading glasses like the ones in National Treasure.
Now, if you put the 10th Amendment on the sign instead of the preamble, then I’d definitely agree. That’s one part of the Constitution that has definitely been “interpreted” out of existence.
JD: If that is what it says, I guess my reading comprehension has regressed to somewhere around the 2nd grade. All I read was gibberish.
Did you mean to have the sarc button on or off?
Lot of truth there and McShame thinks he’s the Republican leader?
I would be happy and proud to contribute to an ad or a billboard like this. I agree with GladzKravtz (#61) and others that just “Miss me?” might be better.
I vote for this one!
The billboard you are looking for is up in Northeastern PA!
David Madeira, the GOP candidate for the PA 10th Congressional district, seems to be one step of ahead — his “Miss Me Yet” billboard is already up.
You can find a picture of it here:
