ATLANTA - A north Georgia congressional candidate is criticizing President Barack Obama in highway billboards that use the communist hammer-and-sickle symbol.
The three billboard ads from Jody Hice pose a question to passers-by: ``Had Enough Of Obama's Change?'' The first letter in the word change is replaced by the hammer and sickle.
That symbol was part of Soviet Russia's flag.
Hice is a conservative radio talk show host who founded Ten Commandments Incorporated a few years ago to help raise money to keep the Ten Commandments in the Barrow County Courthouse.
He is among eight Republicans running to succeed Republican Rep. John Linder in a July 20 primary. Hice says he wants to draw attention to Obama policies that he considers socialist, such as bailing out auto companies and a recent health care overhaul.
Georgia Democratic Party spokesman Eric Gray says the ads are inappropriate and distasteful.
