A 78-year-old Iowa woman is so tired of seeing President Obama on TV that she is selling her TV sets, the Daily Times Herald in Carroll reports.

Deloris Nissen of Carroll claims in a $5.50 classified ad she placed in the paper that she is selling two TVs because she is tired of seeing "Obama on every channel and station."

The retired nurses' aide told the newspaper she could accept seeing Obama on TV from time to time, but that she believes he is overexposed.

"I thought, my gosh, does he ever stay at the White House?" said Nissen, who added that she changes the channel whenever Obama appears. "I have the remote real handy. I have the batteries. I'm ready for him."

Nissen, who said she voted for GOP candidate Sen. John McCain in November, told the Daily Times Herald she is not worried about criticism. "I'm an old lady, and I don't care," she said.

Now such a charge would be laughable if it weren't so cynical and irresponsible. It's a lie, plain and simple. The prominent politician who first complained about the death panels in the Obama health plan was Sarah Palin. Later on CNN, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was asked, "You pull out the dictionary, and the person who tells a lie is a liar. Does the President think Sarah Palin is a liar?" Gibbs answered: I think that for whatever reason despite many media outlets saying what Sarah Palin said was untrue, she continued to say it. I'll let We
