Anti-Obama Activist Speaks Out

Calling President Obama a "complete liar," a political activist took to the sidewalk in front of the Wawa in Hatboro to try convincing the public to "dump Obama."

Political organizer Joe Billington, of Upper Darby, said he and fellow representatives of the LaRouche Political Action Committee are out every day "educating people on what's going on."

The group, which he described as being "Lincoln Republicans" and "FDR Democrats," is in "serious disagreement" with the president in issues ranging from foreign policy to the financial state of the country.

To prove his point, Billington had stacks of fliers and booklets to give away and poster boards attached to his table which called for Obama to be impeached.

Billington said he'd be in Hatboro until 4:30 or 5 p.m. Wednesday, but said his group would be out meeting and talking to people until "Obama's forced to resign."

The most pressing issue, according to Billington, is the impending war with Syria.

"Bush and Cheney were bad enough," he said. "Obama comes in and he's doing the same damn thing."
