UPPER WEST SIDE — Thousands of profanity-laced fliers attacking President Barack Obama were dumped at 68th Street and Broadway on Wednesday.
A nearby office worker said "the sky was covered in falling paper," which featured a handwritten poem titled "F*** You Obama" and a "Sorry A** State of the Union," Gawker reported.
The woman who witnessed the spectacle saw about 2,000 fliers drifting through the air, but could not confirm if they had been dropped from above or placed on the ground and blown around by the wind.
The incident drew a dozen or so Emergency Service Unit officers to the scene, and all the fliers were removed by 7 p.m on Wednesday, according to the Westside Independent.
The NYPD offered no response, claiming to know nothing of the incident when DNAinfo contacted the department.
An excerpt from the poem, posted on Gawker's Web site, read:
"Leave this house once graced by Reagans
Take the Liberals, Commies, Satans and Pagans
Go to hell with your song and dance,
America doesn't need ya, go live in France!"
