An effigy of President Barack Obama was found hanging in the rural hometown of former president Jimmy Carter, local media reported yesterday.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper, citing footage seen on WALB-TV, said the large black doll was found hanging from a building by a noose in front of a red, white and blue sign that said: "Plains, Georgia. Home of Jimmy Carter, our 39th President."
A witness told the television station that the doll, apparently discovered on Saturday, wore a sign with Mr Obama's name on it.
In Washington, a Secret Service spokesman confirmed the agency was investigating the case.
