George Fox University, in Newberg, Oregon, said in a statement on its website that the cutout of Obama was found hanging from a tree on campus early Tuesday morning before being removed by staff.
A sign reading "Act Six reject" was taped to the cutout. Act Six is a scholarship program run by the college granted to 10 student leaders from urban Portland. Most of the students currently benefiting from the program are ethnic minorities, the statement said.
George Fox University President Robin Baker was to address the college's 1,800-strong undergraduate body later Wednesday.
"We will not tolerate such displays and condemn it in the strongest terms," Baker said in a statement.
The people responsible for the incident have not been identified, the statement said, but authorities have urged anyone with information to come forward.

Effigies have been used as a form of political speech for a time honored time. If you're running for office might it be about you politics that people don't like.
It's not necessarily racially motivated the candidates on both sides seem to be Fascists/Communists (socialists for those who think Communism is totalitarianism)

It's incidents like this that make people think Christians are hypocritical.
nobamajon, why a "chocolate dictator"? Makes me think youre racist because you have to cite his skin color as if it makes ALL the difference. Why can he just be a dictator? No one goes around saying Bush is a white [what ever you think he is] or Chavez is [insert Latino slur here] communist. The fact that his skin color is even relevant...says alot.

Hey nobamajon,
I'm curious why you think Obama is a Communist, reaks of Communistic traits, and is a "chocolate dictator" as you called him? I'm not an Obama supporter, or a liberal, but I am curious to hear your reasoning on those comments? - 3 years ago

nobamajon, what exactly don't you believe? That the event happened, or that it was done intentionally as an act of racial expression against Obama?

I find it hard to believe that any intelligent person would be so racist. Kids? If you are 22 you are not a kid. I don't care who did it it is ugly and obscene.

I'm glad I'm NOT a Christian, otherwise I would be totally ashamed right now. - 3 years ago

I'm actually more ashamed of your comments than of their actions. OK well no. But this shouldnt make any Christians ashamed of their beliefs. Does Bush make all Texans ashamed? I'm Christian. And this just shows maybe they need more Jesus in their life.
