Texas tailgate’s anti-Obama message creates a nationwide buzz

An East Texas man, who wears his political heart on his pickup’s tailgate, stirs controversy wherever he goes and caught the eye of a local TV news team.

Tyler oil and gas man John Graham put an image of President Obama dressed in Arab garb along with the words, “Does this socialist a** make my truck look too big?” on the back of his vehicle in 2009. He said he won’t remove it until the president is out of office, according to local CBS affiliate KYTX-TV.
