Obama image found hanging on Kentucky campus

. Authorities at the University of Kentucky are trying to find out who hanged a life-sized stuffed doll of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on campus (the bottom of the display is pictured). The Obama likeness was found hanging from a tree on campus Wednesday morning, college spokesman Carl Nathe said. Police immediately took it down. School President Lee Todd says that he plans to personally apologize to the Obama family on behalf of the university and that he is “personally offended and deeply embarrassed by this disgusting episode.” It’s the second time an effigy has been found on a college campus recently. Earlier this week, George Fox University in Oregon said it was punishing four students who confessed to hanging a likeness of Obama from a tree. Obama wasn’t the only victim of such pranks. Secret Service agents recently visited a California home where a mannequin of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin hangs from a noose. The display also features John McCain surrounded by fake flames coming out of the bungalow’s chimney. Deputy Special Agent in Charge Wayne Williams told The Associated Press that so far that incident seems to be a harmless Halloween display. He said they are not treating it as a threat.

and why is it a halloween display…when it’s a white man and woman…but it’s racism at it’s worse…when it’s a black man???
it’s time for these double standards to end already….because until they do, we can never truly expect racism to cease in this great country of ours.

God prevails and I believe just like Moses led the Children of Israel out of Egypt by parting the Red Sea on God’s command, I believe that God is going to put Obama in office to lead the black, poor and middle class people out of bondage. We’ve been poked, proded, laughed at, stomped on, spit at, talked about, and hated for centuries. It’s about time we finally will see a change in this nation.

GO OBAMA!
