The Making of Obama St in San Francisco

[EHPfromTJ]

Well done guys! :))) I love it )))

[ChomuSclavus]

At 4:53, what'd they say? "102nd coverage?"

[ThurstonGriswald]

100% coverage. ie. from start to finish on Bush St.

[FreedomAintFree1]

I wonder what these people think of Obama now...

[lemonpixie]

nicely done guys!

[mangowanger]

amazing.

[earth2carly]

BEAUTIFUL. <3333 i love it

[carefreedom]

Are those magnets? I'm not against obama, but at least that means it won't cost as much for the city to fix, since we're short on funding already.

[ThurstonGriswald]

You can tell he's hot through the blur? Astounding!

[maryrose]

fo sure. The sexy legs give him away.

[GURT]

curious.. how long before every last one was taken down?

[ThurstonGriswald]

about noon

[flowtus1960]

Dear 1downhiller....are you serious...you can not be....you are just trying to get a response from folks. Bush was so obviously a disaster for all peoples and showed the true colors of a heartless "leader." If you are serious, please wake up and smell the beauty of compassion and justice or you will go to your grave a sad human.

[BatsBasilica]

99% of Republicans and 99% of Democrats are vermin, Bush, Obama, McCain& Hillary included. They are all EQUALLY destroying this country. People are so incredibly ignorant.

[1downhiller]

When are they going to put up the "Mccain" signs??

He is more deserving of a St than Obama. Too bad there are so many sheep in SF, makes us look bad.

[kjgp25171]

Since Bush took office I have refused to travel on Bush St. I remember

> driving behind a car which had a bumper sticker which indicated the driver

> could not stand the man. The car was signaling that it was going to turn

> left onto Bush. I pulled to the right and signaled to the driver to roll

> down his window. I told him that I loved his sticker and that I refused

> to drive on Bush St. He said "god bless you" turned off his signal and

> went straight instead of left.

Haha! Awesome anecdote.

[mschest]

I love it guys! You are the best! I love San Francisco.

San Francisco has always been my favorite city.

[amberhush]

thank you thank you thank you

[MatthewGNelson]

I love my crazy SF friends.

[studiotom]

Awesome!!! I heard about the sign at Montgomery on KFOG that morning and I managed to get a picture of it before it was taken down. Well done... YES WE CAN! :D

[ChefTillDeath]

Great to see your face Syd. Miss ya

[melmoth1]

You guys shoulda gone easier on the other crew. Their signs were more professional than ours! Ours were good, but theirs were reflective vinyl, fer Chrissake.

[themaxxray]

Morons, what a waste of time. I wouldn't expect something so childish from the citizens of San Francisco.

No matter who is the President, he or she will still be a puppet to the Federal Reserve. Nothing is going to change, as long as the Federal Reserve still exists. If you want to make a statement perhaps that is the place to start.

ZEITGEIST

Go volunteer and make things better instead of making things worse.

[ThurstonGriswald]

Our first pointless, insulting comment !

{claps wildly}

Oh youTube, I knew you wouldn't let us down!

[janendavis]

"I wouldn't expect something so childish from the citizens of San Francisco."

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You, sir, clearly have an even better sense of humor than we do.

[etwalsh]

Don't make me laugh!

I am quite sure that these "morons" already do volunteer to make things better.

[Dook6]

That is cool

[Doggiewantbone]

Superb!

[chromatest]

What about intersecting streets? Do they have the signs that announce what street is next? I've seen them around about 1/2 a block from the street.... Here in AZ, we have the "Bush Highway".. I think that's just a nickname and not signed though.

[ThurstonGriswald]

Those are the big green ones you see in some of the shots. They are mainly for cars trying to find their way. We left those alone as they are too big to reach without considerable effort and are actually used for navigation. We stuck to the small white signs seen by pedestrians.

[chromatest]

Ahh.. that makes sense. Very nice work to all involved. I especially love that you guys beat the other people.... who probably spent more money (less time?) in getting their signs ready. :)

[AngryMonkeySalad]

I'm actually sad we didn't have more street to change.

Nice flick.

[jovino]

ROCK!

[seateapea]

I love my friends!!! And I love this city!!!
