A spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service said the agency is investigating an effigy of President Barack Obama found hanging from a building in the Georgia hometown of former President Jimmy Carter.
Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan told The Associated Press that the large black doll was found Saturday morning along Main Street in the small town of Plains.
According to footage from WALB-TV, the doll was hanging by a noose in front of a red, white and blue sign that says "Plains, Georgia. Home of Jimmy Carter, our 39th President." A witness told the television station that the doll wore a sign with Obama's name on it.

but it’s ok to have one of Sarah to them.
people of all races have been hung
Is it illegal to hang Obama in effigy? I bet it’s not.
freedom of speech you betcha! they did sarah that way and nothing happen but you wait the chicago thugs will have their way on this.....
Well, someone is obviously ticked 0 is upstaging hometown hero Jimmuh Catuh as WORST PRESIDENT EVER.
I can barely await Carter’s lecture.
You would think that the people who live in Plains would be happy that Obama’s president. It kind of get the monkey off their back. Sort of like when someone else’s football team breaks your hometown teams record of consecutive losses.
Did the Secret Service investigate all the effigies of GWB? Any of them?
Heh. Let's hang a teleprompter in effigy...
In the days of video cameras everywhere, I’ll bet they lock Amy up real soon.
Well, someone is obviously ticked 0 is upstaging hometown hero Jimmuh Catuh as WORST PRESIDENT EVER.

DING DING DING !!!
We have our winner!
No more calls please.
An effigy of Sarah Palin or Bush is perfectly okay.
An effigy of Obama? Capital Punishment.
Most likely a planted distraction orchestrated by Axelrod and Company.
Jimmy did it
If he was white you could. You can’t even put little hangman knots in a tree where a black person is likely to pass by.
Add another to the list of obama-inspired (or caused) ironies.
Ha! You KNOW Obama’s in panic mode when Rahm sends his backup ballerina to hang Obama dolls.
They are melting down. This “effigy” has been Obama’s emergency plan for 1 year. They just broke the glass and yanked the lever!
“Racism! Racism!” Obama’s the victim! Help Obama! Poor Obama!
Hahaaa.
Lynchburg?
Are people in Plains (what few there are) still gung-ho for GA Jimmuh?
An obvious sleazebag setup. Watch them milk the crap out of this one.
It’s just someone utilizing their artistic expression. Isn’t that what was said every single time W. or Sarah were “hung” in effigy? I’m so sick of the hypocrisy. I guess freedom of expression is only granted to every other person, just like security is only guarenteed every other day.
