QuoteSign constructed in Colorado Springs homeless camp Residents of Colorado Springs, Colo., have a mystery on their hands: Who came up with the idea to erect a sign reading Welcome to Obamaville on the site of a homeless tent camp in the city?



QuoteCOLORADO SPRINGS – We now know the reasons behind the "Welcome to Obamaville" sign near a homeless tent city at I-25 and Cimarron.

"You mention his name, you get some attention, I think that was the whole idea behind it," said Spencer Swann of Colorado Canyon Signs.  "I didn't dream it up, but I thought it was a good idea.  I thought that it would help some of these guys down here."

Swann designed the "Welcome to Obamaville: Colorado's Fastest Growing Community" sign on behalf of someone else, whose identity he wouldn't reveal.  Swann also designed a new sign Thursday that replaced "Obamaville".  The new sign reads: "Please help, we need firewood, propane and canned food."

"I thought it was just something to draw attention and help those folks," said Swann.
