In the $5.50 ad, Nissen tells readers she has two television sets for sale.
The reason: "Obama on every channel and station."

Sounds like someone needed cable.

An old white lady who grew up on a farm and worked at K-Mart doesn't like seeing the black president on TV? Wow, what a shocker.

My guess is the RightWing is just a wee bit nervous on Obama Town Hall Meeting pushing back against the Right Wing Lies...

EXcuuuuse me....but some of us "older folks' do just fine with electronics.

Being a Republican, she probably couldn't figure out how to turn it off. She HAS a NEW flat screen TV and being a righty she thinks it'll have different shows on...LOLOLOL!!!!

That's it!

If the Republicans didn't lie so much Obama wouldn't have to be on TV explaining things over and over again.

Drooling can be cured by breathing through your nose.

I was just jokin' thinking about my own mother who could not figure out how to program the dang remote or an old boss that would yell for me to come help her figure out the most simple of electronic tasks. Anyone posting HERE can figure out electronics and all that jazz just fine...

This seems smart to advertise a television in a newspaper. This lady probably knows that the same zombies who find their news and entertainment at the six-grade reading level found in a newspaper also love the mind-numbing abilities of television. This is a bit like advertising a lawn mowing job on a Home Depot bulletin board.
