Cheesehead signs cheesehead      5-Nov-09 12:53 am    
<< MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Liberian immigrant Mansfield Neblett just wanted to wear his cheesehead hat to President Barack Obama's speech at a Wisconsin middle school.

The first roadblock were U.S. Secret Service agents. They initially told him the bright yellow hat in the shape of a slice of cheese usually worn by fans at Green Bay Packers games was a security risk.

The 46-year-old Neblett told them he'd skip the Wednesday speech.

The agents relented and Neblett took his place in the last row of the gymnasium.

But wearing the hat during the speech wasn't meant to be.

Before Obama took the stage, someone representing him approached Neblett and offered to get the hat signed by the president. Neblett gladly turned it over.

"I'm going to sell it on eBay!" he said with a smile. >>




BTW, deport both cheeseheads and their extended families.


Obama went to Wisconsin to do heavy thinking on Afghanistan.


I hope the guy gets a great price on eBay since it cost taxpayers $1M+ for our cheesehead to sign it.
