Standing behind oversized “Impeach Obama” signs and waving American flags, protesters took to overpasses in Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties this morning to voice their displeasure with the current administration.As part of the nation-wide “Overpasses for Obama’s Impeachment” movement, local residents manned overpasses over I-471 in Fort Thomas, and I-71/75 in Fort Wright and Florence, imploring motorists to show support by honking their horns.

They weren’t disappointed.

At the Kyles Lane overpass in Fort Wright, protesters could barely be heard over the sound of horns.

“It’s been great!,” said Vonda Pickens, the Independence mother who spearheaded the Northern Kentucky effort, an hour into the protest. “It was a little bit busier earlier, but the horns have been going on all morning. We’re pleased because, well, you never know.”

Below, motorists honked their horns and gave “thumbs up” signals to support impeaching President Barack Obama. A few stopped in traffic to shoot photos with their camera phones through their windshields.
Above, the protestors were emboldened.

“The sentiment in this country is boiling over to get this piece of trash out of the White House. It’s that simple,” said Ted McEntee, a retired postal worker from Park Hills.

“There’s a list of at least 50 different things he can be impeached for. Benghazi, The Associated Press, the IRS, Fast and Furious,” he began to list.

“The man is a socialist. He’s a Muslim. He’s never held a prayer breakfast,” he added. “They impeached Clinton for (oral sex), what are they going to do to this moron?”

Protesters wrapped the morning session after 9 a.m., but will return to their perches – facing the other direction to catch rush hour traffic heading home – from 4-5:30 p.m.
