An effigy of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama walking the plank while a pirate holds a gun to his back, and a spray-painted sign reading “Obama for President of Afghanistan,” appears outside the home of Mike and Cheryl Barnes, west of Grand Junction, Colo. The sign and the effigy have been removed from the Halloween display after a newspaper inquired about it.
