Motorists entering the quaint, woodsy town of Olema near the sea in Marin
County may notice a subtle change as they enter: it appears the burg's name
has been changed to "Obama."

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama supporter and
bed-and-breakfast owner Kelly Emery created a perfect mirror of the green
sign people read as they enter the town's limits. Now people unfamiliar with
the area may think they are entering the town of Obama, population: 55.
[UPDATE: After complaints from locals, who said the sign was confusing, a
county official persuaded Kelly Emery to remove the
sign<http://www.marinij.com/marinnews/ci_10531714?source=rss>.
You can learn more about the dispute in the CBS5 video below.]
