A family have caused outrage after putting up a fake Halloween tombstone with President Barack Obama's name on.

Jamilla Phillips says the decoration in a front yard in Edmond, Oklahoma, is offensive and lacks 'respect.'

She said she has just moved into the neighborhood, but after seeing the sign felt compelled to speak up, saying she was worried about the effect it would have on children.

The sign is on the family's front lawn next to 'I told you I was sick' and 'I'm a gonner now.'

'He is the president of the United States and it actually is about respect,' Phillips said

First, there's the right of free speech.

Respect?? Let's be honest with our children.

Let them see the caffeine salute.

Remind them that Obama thinks killing "inconvenient" babies is a good thing.

Etc etc

She be black and will stand by her president even if he runs the country in to the ground and is proven to be terrorist. Because he’s black.

Or perhaps the Sarah Palin mannequin hanging from the garage rafters?

Obama has earned only the respect of Satan.

You all should be ashamed. Poor Jamilla is a member of not one, but two protected classes. Her sensiblities are more fragile, as well important those of the racist bigot who put up the decoration. Not protecting them from the slightest bit of harm is ...well, I’m just going to say it...un-American. Dissent is no longer patriotic, didn’t you know?

Everyday the left is “outraged” by some new blasphemy directed at its sepia-god, 0bama. I’m outraged that they are in control in so many areas.

How come no one was outraged with President George W. Bush’s and V.P. Dick Cheney’s names appeared on crypts, grave stones and hung and burned in effigy?

I’d tell them to grow up. One has every right to wish a politician dead, as long as they don’t intend to carry it out.

Not offensive, and respect is something the kenyan will never have, never earned any.

With the clintons I just want to outlive them so I can piss on their graves. If I outlived the kenyan I would favor defiling the corpse (no, not corps or corpsman) ala Oliver Cromwell’s corpse after Charles II regained the throne.

I respect the office of the Presidency of the United States, obama himself has crossed the line of dispespect for the Office, the Constitution and the American people. I still respect the office, I have NO respect for obama. POBO

I don’t know anything about this Jamilla Phillips person but I have never liked any disrespect shown to any of our Presidents, Obama included. Present your facts and opinions, have your say, but don’t publicly throw disrespect at the President.

Yeah. You wouldn't want to "strip" the president of his "majesty" as the idiot Geraldo Rivera complained after Bill O'Reilly's Superbowl Sunday interview of Obama.

In my lifetime, two presidents have besmirched and denigrated the dignity of the office of president: Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

Neither of them deserve (or deserved) any respect while they occupied that office, because they showed none -- neither for the office itself, nor for the Constitution, nor for the American people.

And Obama has been the worst, because he does not even show respect for the American flag.

So I won't be showing Barack Obama any respect anytime soon.

In fact, I think making a show of respect to Obama actually shows disrespect for the office of the President.

This is one family in a nondescript, middle-of-nowhere neighborhood. Why is this national news? Who cares? Its insane that we have these reporters hunting for every single family or person in America who “disrespects” the president. The clown who had the Obama mask, this tombstone, the float that had an outhouse as Obama’s library. Who freakin cares?? We are living in a politically-correct fascist state.
