Traffic Diverted as a 'mock' Obama shown hanging from Noose over Federal Highway

GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. — Crews are investigating after a dummy bearing a President Obama face mask was found hanging from the Lesholz Bridge over I-70 near Grain Valley, Mo. Police received the report around 5:30 a.m. Monday.
Authorities rerouted traffic due to the distraction it caused Monday. Traffic across the bridge has since been allowed to cross.

Crews, using a robot, removed the dummy and took it into a nearby field where it was x-rayed for possible explosives.

FOX 4 News is at the scene and will have more information as soon as it becomes available.

I'd call it a threat against the President. A nice long prison sentence would send a message.

have their rifles out during the rallies after Palin was throwing all that Obama is a terrorist red meat to the crowds?

That is when I wondered how much the Obama's, as parents, could shield from their children..it was chilling to me.
