Barack had spent the whole day on Thursday, Friday and Saturday greeting fair patrons at the Democratic booth and posing for photo opportunities with them. The 6-foot, 1-inch cardboard cutout disappeared overnight on Saturday.
He is scheduled to appear with the Lake County Democrats at all of their functions before the election. He will be missed by his Democratic, Republican and Independent supporters. No ransom note has been received. The Secret Service declined to comment.
In an email response the chair of the Democratic Party of Lake County stated, “Clearly this despicable act is the work of those who are afraid. Afraid of the positive message of hope and change, the clarion call of this November's election. Our Democratic grassroots activists in Lake County can only feel sorrow and pity for people who would do such a petty mean-spirited thing. No supporter of Sen. Obama's would be so thoughtless and selfish as to deprive others of the joy and inspiration of seeing the senator out on the campaign trail here in Lake County. We hope the kidnappers will come to their senses, and we await his return.”
Barack can be returned with no questions asked by calling 274-8862, or emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. His safe return will be appreciated.
