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.

You just gave the answer yourself! “It is the Highest Form of Disrespect!” Those are your words, and thats why Effgys are utilized! Who cares what you think about them, they are a way of showing disrespect at the highest degree as confirmed by you.............:-)

people of all races have been hung

Although your statement if a factually correct, I think you meant "hanged?"

Just about anybody from the Left. They are badly in need of a distraction or a sympathy bounce in the polls.

Was it just hanging or was it also burned?

President Bush President Bush

Since this was just President Bush, I doubt it even made the news. Nor did this one from the National Mall.
President Bush

According to my on line Funk & Wagnalls, obama is an effigy.
