Minneapolis -

Even though the president is in Iowa, an odd occurrence possibly involving him in Minnesota. An employee at Longfellow Park in Minneapolis found a dead cat burned and staked to a tree with an American flag, yesterday. There was also an 'Obama/ Biden 2012' yard sign lying off to the side. Authorities say It's unclear if the display is a prank or a threat, but the timing may not be a coincidence. The recreation building is being used as a polling place today. A spokesperson from the Secret Service says they are monitoring the situation and will take action if necessary. There have been no other similar cases this campaign season.
