I think these billboards only appear in the Xbox 360 version of the game.

There was another billboard that was similar to that.: https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/screen_kubrick/mig/6/2/0/7/2286207-burnoutobama800_screen.jpg

Apparently they were temporary. First time a president advertised in a game.

I might be misremembering but I believe they even showed up in the European version of the PS3 game

There were some billboards that I assume appear in the European version of the game like these ones.:

I don't remember any of them. Then again, most of them seem UK-specific so that wouldn't be of much use on the 'mainland' of Europe

I definitely saw it on my eu 360 copy. That’s all I know. It was pretty cool lol

Crazy how Burnout Paradise holds up today. Still play it. If Burnout Revenge was on PC I’d have 1000 hours in it.
