Obama effigy

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.

its nice 2 know that evrybody wants a president that can’t even proove he’s a U.S. national. he was most likely born in kenya, meaning he’s a kenyan national not a U.S. national, our country strives off of only allowing U.S. nationals 2 become president. I guess next were gonna see arnold run or even mexican nationals. wow amazing.

a change Said on

First of all, most of the comments posted on here is ridiculous. It is now 2008 and are still stuck on color. before i start, for the guy that said he’s not voting for either, you will be the main critic talking about whats wrong and what needs to be changed. Therefore, shut your mouth and continue to suffer because you have NO SAY!!! And to those who believe that many are only voting for Obama because he’s black, excuse me1/2 black, go right ahead. I was sent an email saying:
A white man asked his black friend, ‘Are you voting for
Barack Obama just because he’s black’?
The black man responded by saying, why not? In this
country men are pulled over everyday just cause their black,
passed over for promotions just cause their black,
considered to be criminals just cause their black, and there
are going to be thousands of you who wont be voting for him
just cause he’s black!
However, you do not seem to have a problem with that!
This country was built with the sweat of
the black slaves, and now a descendent of those same
slaves has a chance to lead the same country, where we
weren’t even considered to be people, Where we
weren’t allowed to be educated, drink from the same
water fountains, eat in the same restaurants, or even vote,
so you’re absolutely right I’m going to vote for
him!
But it’s not just because he’s black, but because
he is hope, he is change, and he now allows me to understand
when my grandson says he wants to be president when he grows
up, it is not a fairy tale but a short term goal, Because he
sees, understands, and knows, he can achieve, withstand, and
do anything just cause he’s black!

I’m excited about being able to vote for the first time in my life. This is a very special election for me. I just don’t understand why would people do that to a man that’s just trying to make the United States a better place for all people. Know matter what race you are, skin color, religion, etc. I believe obama is going to win this election, and i’m very proud to say he can definitely count on my vote. BARACK THE VOTE



Tisha Said on

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS,,,,,, OBAMA YALL…………….

To All Readers. Yes we are all rooting for Obama to be the next President of the United States. But we must remember that he is not black nor white. He is both! To me this signifies so much more than just being black. He had the best of both worlds. Geting to know, understand, and live the life of two cultures that make up the majority of the United States. Now he has struggled in life as a black man. This is the connection that most blacks have with him. He knows what it is like to live in a world of disapproval by the caucasion descent. He understands the obsticles that blacks have to face in a “white” society. This is why Obama stands for “hope” to so many blacks if not all. He is the proof that our young generation can walk with their heads up and achieve anything that there hearts desire. And this can be done without any fear. Obama doesn’t care about negative thoughts nor actions that anyone places over his head. He cares about this nation with all of its races. So my fellow “Americans” VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! And for you Daniel, you are the reason why we are going to vote for Senator Obama, cause it is time for change, with or without you.



Toy4U Said on

Hello, ya’ll I voted early for Barack Obama and Joe Biden. It’s ashame that people don’t want a black man to change the country just because he black. Color shouldn’t matter it should be for the right reasons. PEOPLE REALLY LISTEN TO YOURSELF WHEN YOUR ARE VOTING THIS TIME IT’S SO IMPORANT. CAST YOUR VOTE ON NOVEMBER 4, 2008 MAKE THAT CHANGE HAPPEN!!!!! People of color, gay people, rich, poor, man, woman, and anybody need to VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! We NEED TO STOP THE HATERED TOWARDS PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT LIKE YOU!

smerika Said on

hey im an elem. edu junior at UK.
its sooooo embarrasing to have our name in the news abt this.
as if ppl dnt already think KY is a racially charged state,
this drives it home even more.
this election is my very first presidential election and i am so excited!
although i cant speak on behalf of my peers,
this doesnt rly deter me from standing in that loooooong line on tuesday.
if anything, its motivation..and should be for everyone else.
your words are only a predispostion of wats to come.
you can talk abt wats right or wats wrong till the cows come home
but until you act on that, your words are useless.
so….shut up and go get in line next week!!

PRAY FOR US yall =]



Toy4U Said on

GO VOTE GO VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EVERYBODY THAT WANTS THAT CHANGE VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Barack Obama! Barack Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!!!!



marli Said on

I’m no where near against having a black president, I would love 2 see that happen, but I do have a problen with someone that is not a real national U.S. citizen. if he can’t proove it then he has no right 2 really run 4 president. that is what I don’t like and agree with in terms of obama, and no I don’t like mcCain either.



Hope Said on

I really only have one thing to say about the displays on both sides it not needed it is wrong . We want change because it is due to all minority people. As far as daniel I will pray for you and you’r children. because it is a shame that there are still such hate in the world and the message you are trying to send is just plan ignorant. And With the hope of THE AMERICAN PEOPLE VOTE FOR CHANGE AND YOU DANIEL WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH A BLACK MAN AS PRESIDENT AND SO WILL THE REST OF THE WORLD WHOM HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT. OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO YOU. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR NEW PRESIDENT AND THE CHANGE THAT IS NEEDED>
