BUFFALO, N.Y., May 11 (UPI) -- A group of jobless New York state residents has erected a billboard aimed at U.S. President Barack Obama with the message: "I need a freakin' job. Period."

The southbound I-190 billboard, created by a group of Buffalo residents led by Jeff Baker, featured four young adults standing with the message emblazoned on their T-shirts, WIVB-TV, Buffalo, N.Y., reported Tuesday.

A billboard rental generally costs upwards of $10,000.00 That doesn't sound like desperate, deprived citizens who can't find work in New York.

I do see their point, though - they hate the Obama Administration. Obama killed the business my Father founded and destroyed over 300 jobs our employees had, some of which had been with us from the start in 1980. Now, all UNEMPLOYED. Some will lose their homes as a result. THANKS OBAMA FOR DESTROYING OUR NATION... YOU A**!!!!!

    I'm sure some political group helped them get that sign up...

    4AWord that is horrible, I hope your family recovers from their loss and prosper more in the near future.

    If you don't mind it is just curiosity on my end, but what kind of business was it?
