Terry Jones hangs Obama in effigy

American pastor Terry Jones, whose Holy Quran-burning activities have gained worldwide notoriety, is in the news again - this time for hanging President Barack Obama in effigy in front of his church. Jones said the move came in response to Obama’s recent endorsement of same-sex marriage, as well as his stance on abortion and what the pastor called his ‘appeasing of radical Islam.’ “Obama is killing our nation," Jones said in a YouTube video. “President Obama’s policies on same-sex marriage, his policies on abortion.” Jones said. He went on: “It is time for the United States to stand up. It is why we have chosen the hanging of Uncle Sam to represent how Hussein Obama is destroying our nation. And that is why we have now chosen the hanging of Hussein Obama to represent how the American people must, in a peaceful way, stand up and reject President Obama, reject his anti-American policies. It’s time for us to stand up.” A US Secret Service spokesman said the agency is investigating the situation.
