One Texas farmer is going to the extreme to protest President Barack Obama, creating a sign that spans several acres — but you’ll have to be in the sky to see it.
Sam Bates, of Lubbock, took out his aggression on his farm’s weeds, spelling out in the ground with his plow, “Say no to Obama.”
He explained he did not mean to be partisan, but rather was just fed up with everything in Washington.
“I thought, maybe some pilots from Dallas would get a good chuckle,” he said to a local news site.
And though plowing the empty lake basin behind his house is an annual chore, this year’s explanation matches what many Hill staffers find in August: “I just had some free time.”
Good thing Bates ’fessed up, because that would be one hard mysterious crop circle to explain.
