The effigy, hung outside the Dove World Outreach Center's front lawn, was placed their by pastor Terry Jones, who is most known for burning the Qu'ran in a ceremony two years ago.

Jones says the effigy was in response to Obama's recent endorsement of same sex-marriage, as well as his stance on abortion and what Jones called his "appeasing of radical Islam."

"The Secret Service is aware of this incident and will conduct appropriate follow-up," Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary told the paper's "The Pulp" blog.

The effigy is suspended from a makeshift gallows with a noose of yellow rope, has a doll in its right hand and a rainbow-colored gay pride flag in its left.

The words “Obama is Killing America” are printed on a trailer nearby.
