A 78-year-old Carroll woman says she's so tired of seeing President Barack Obama on the airwaves that she's selling her television sets - two of them.
Deloris Nissen, a retired nurses' aide and former Kmart employee who was raised on a farm near Audubon, placed a classified advertisement with The Daily Times Herald for Friday's paper.
In the $5.50 ad, Nissen tells readers she has two television sets for sale.
The reason: "Obama on every channel and station."
In an interview Nissen said she is serious about selling two TVs - and genuine about her disgust with what she believes to be an overexposed president.
"I just got tired of watching him on every channel," Nissen said. "I thought, my gosh, does he ever stay at the White House?"
Nissen, who voted for U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in the 2008 presidential election, said she could live with seeing Obama come on television to make serious announcements. But he seems to be on all the time, Nissen said.

ReplyDeleteI am Qaisar Anwar Founder and President of Trust Of Humanity Foundation Pakistan, More than three thousand armed people attacked on Christian homes in Gojra Christian town on August 1, 2009, town situated in diocese on Faisalabad, after the earlier attack on Christian houses in Village Korian, 5 to 6 km from Gojra town on 30th July.
More than one thousand people held a procession in the main city of the Gojra town at about 8:30 AM on August 1, 2009. They were demanding death sentence of Talib Masih who is charged of false blasphemy in village Korian. Thousands of Muslims attacked on Christians in Gojra after the procession and opened fire on the innocent Christian people indiscriminately.
The Christians being week could not resist attack and more then 60 houses completely burned and looted from the houses and set every thing on fire. A Pentecostal Church situated in Christian Town was completely burned.
One Hameed Mashi, 50, who was fired with a bullet in his head died at the spot. His family members were gathered around his dead body. The extremists reached there and threw. All of them died and completely burned.
Two women were present at their home and they were also set on fire. They also died at the spot.
18 people have been injured. And they are hospitalized with no care in the hospital.
Following are the names of the dead:
1. Hameed Mashi
2. Akhlas Mashi
3. Asfa Bibi
4. Victoria Ashi
5. Seema Bibi
6. Umia Bibi
7. Unknown Child.
The situation in Gojra is still tense. There are announcements continued in the mosuques about attacking the Christian Colonies and Villages in this area.
Non-cooperation from the district administration and negligence of the law enforcement agencies has caused this problem.
The immature attitude of the Christian political leadership has added to the misery
