SIOUX CITY, Iowa - President Obama received a less than warm welcome and a warning upon arrival at the airport here on the second stop of his Iowa visit, which was aimed at recapturing some of the magic the state gave his run to the White House in 2008.
Greeting Air Force One as it touched down under sunny skies and sultry heat was a hand-painted banner draped across the top of an airplane hangar that reads, "Obama Welcome to SUX - We Did Build This." "SUX" is the airport code for Sioux City.
The message appeared to be a response President Obama's "you didn't build that" remark from a July campaign rally, when he was trying to explain that government - not businesses - constructed public infrastructure on which the economy relies. Republicans have used the four words to attack Obama as out of touch with the realities of owning and operating a small business.

I look for the signs of how people feel to gauge how this election is gonna go. This is one for sure.
People are pissed.

Love the "welcome to" in small letters...from afar it would just look like Obama SUX.

It's the new "read my lips"

It certainly has resonated with everyone and not in a positive way.

It's the new "read my lips"Even worse than that. Saying that what you created belongs to the gubmint just makes people MAD. And rightfully so!

The buring question: who went to jail for making the sign?
