Secret Service Investigates Burning Of Obama
Effigy
People in West Allis, Wisconsin were shouting and laughing as a bartender torched an Obama statue for the crowd. Now the Secret Service is
investigating and the NAACP says it’s worried that the incident is ”racially motivated.” VIDEO >>
Television station TMJ interviewed several local residents, including one woman who said she was “disturbed” not only because Obama is a “Black
President, but because he represents our country.”
TMJ went in-depth with the investigation, even trying to contact the bar owner to ask what the bartender ‘meant with the fire.’ When their
message wasn’t returned at the bar, the station traveled to her house in New Berlin, cameras blazing, to knock on the door.
One wonders where this kind of investigative reporting and outrage was during the eight years of George W Bush’s presidency. Was TMJ equally
disturbed in the early morning hours before President Obama’s inauguration when the video below was filmed – clearly showing an effigy of
President Bush being burned by a laughing mob in the middle of the street in Adams Morgan?
