Police have arrested two suspects in the effigy of Presidential candidate Barack Obama on the campus of the University of Kentucky.
The two suspects have been identified as Hunter Bush and Joe Fischer. They're charged with disorderly Conduct 2nd, Burglary 2nd, and theft by unlawful taking. Fischer is a UK student.
Someone found the effigy hanging from a tree on the University of Kentucky campus.
The item was discovered Wednesday morning in a tree along a walkway from Rose Street to the William T. Young Library.
It was immediately cut down from the tree.
President Lee Todd said he was "disgusted" by the discovery. Governor Steve Beshear also issued a statement saying he "strongly agrees" with President Todd.

This news is 6 months old (Obama effigy), why do you still have it on your site? I don't see anything about the Palin effigytyhat was up in another state. Wasn't that a hate crime against women?

I've fought for the freedom & rights of all people that are citizens of this country, regardless of color. One of those rights is the Freedom of Speech. Also, as a Native American, I get tired of this Race Card being played by some groups. Get over it, we have. And we got screwed alot worst than the blacks.

Would Beshear have cared if it had been an effigy of a Republican? Probably not!!!!!
