Palo Alto Man Protests Obama in Menlo Park

Crashes Presidential debate party to visibly oppose drone policy.

Palo Alto resident Brian Good protested Obama's presidency Wednesday afternoon in front of the Democratic Volunteer Center in Menlo Park. 

"You suck!" one lady screamed at him from her car.  Others honked their horns, seemingly in solidarity, as they drove by his perch at 350 El Camino Real.  

Good held a sign above his head that said, "Obama murders women and children."  The sign was topped with what appeared to be a white, remote-controlled bomb. 

When asked why he was protesting in front of the building in which a presidential debate watch party was being held, he said: "I've opposed Bush policies for five years. Obama's made it worse."  He said he was against the use of drones in other countries. 

Good also said he wanted Obama supporters to know that they are "complicit in crimes against humanity" when they vote for him and cited the Nuremberg Trials as a point of comparison.  He stood outside of the center with the sign for the entire debate.
