The Secret Service is investigating after an effigy of President Obama was spotted hanging Saturday from a building in Plains, Ga., the hometown of former President Jimmy Carter.

The effigy, a black doll with a sign that reportedly identified it as Obama, was hanged by a rope in front of a large red, white and blue sign that reads, "Plains, Georgia. Home of Jimmy Carter, Our 39th President." The sign, painted above a storefront, is a prominent landmark on the town's Main Street.

The manager of the store below the sign wouldn't comment to a local TV station.

No racial motivation behind this, I'm sure.

It is clearly a thoughtful response to our socialist-Nazi-Kenyan-muslim president.

Clearly it was a liberal who did this to make conservatives look bad.
