Deloris Nissen, a 78-year-old retired nurses’ aide from Carroll, tells her hometown paper that she is selling her televisions because she has grown weary of seeing President Barack Obama.
Carroll Daily Times Herald reporter and Iowa Indy alum Douglas Burns interviewed Nissen after seeing an ad she placed in his paper telling readers she’s selling two television sets because of “Obama on every channel and station.”
“I just got tired of watching him on every channel,” Nissen said. “I thought, my gosh, does he ever stay at the White House?”
Nissen, who voted for U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in the 2008 presidential election, said she could live with seeing Obama come on television to make serious announcements. But he seems to be on all the time, Nissen said.
When the president does appear on a channel she happens to be watching, Nissen said, she quickly turns.
“I have the remote real handy,” Nissen said. “I have the batteries. I’m ready for him.”
Despite her annoyance, Nissen is keeping her flat-screen television.
