I have had it up to HERE with the threats and calls to action to harm our President.

When the fuck is the Secret Service or ATF or whoever is in charge of this crap going to stop it? The radio blowhards calling for poisoning Pelosi, nuts showing up at ralleys with guns,and all the other flat out threats are just amazing. I am sure Obama is just trying to keep everyone cool but, Jeebus this is enough. Are they going to have around until somebody takes a shot at him?

1. Somehow they don't have the money/personnel to protect him properly. Amazing.

3. I did just see another link regarding the lack of money for this.

Maybe if the Secret Service started bitchslapping some of these fuckwits the threats would slow down. A few high profile arrests, say, oh I don't know, limbaugh? might start slowing down the open season mentality.

9. They are doing a good job. Because if they weren't

you know some these Right Wing Wackos would have done something to him before election day even got here

2. President Obama is one of the bravest men I know of. I have been half terrified

everytime he appears in public since he announced his run. While bushler and cheney never really appeared in actual non screened places for eight years, Obama has shown up at basketball games and restaurants like a regular guy. I think he must have taken a fate approach, that if he is fated to move America forward, he is protected by a higher source. nevertheless, it is only a question of time before an attempt is made, by someone fired up by fox news and sarah palin.

4. Let the Secret Service handle it-it's their job. nt

5. I know a bit about intel/protection folks, and how they work.

They are professionals.

People making credible threats are taken out of commission on discovery. Silently. (Martyrs are not good).

As far as people showing up with guns, I suggest you check out the history of the Panthers. This country used to arrest, or simply murder, black men for having guns, because they were a "threat". Bad times.

It's not enough to be a possible threat, a real, actual, threat has to be present.

This is the cost of freedom.

6. Law enforcement and intelligence gathering are not hobbies.

May I suggest sudoku?

7. There is nothing you can do, just relax and let's hope the SS are on the ball!

8. I am so angry at these people that I can hardly function.

10. I am right there with you!
