Barack Obama faces 30 death threats a day, stretching US Secret Service
UK Telegraph ^ | 8/3/09 | Toby Harnden

Posted on 08/03/2009 8:49:17 PM PDT by Nachum

Since Mr Obama took office, the rate of threats against the president has increased 400 per cent from the 3,000 a year or so under President George W. Bush, according to Ronald Kessler, author of In the President's Secret Service.

Some threats to Mr Obama, whose Secret Service codename is Renegade, have been publicised, including an alleged plot by white supremacists in Tennessee late last year to rob a gun store, shoot 88 black people, decapitate another 14 and then assassinate the first black president in American history.

No, I don’t. I hadn’t heard about that.

That really happened?

Of course not and I doubt that the vast majority of congress could either.

I’d really like candidates to have to undergo rigorous background checks before each election and random drug testing once elected.

And no keeping the results secret!

From what I have heard, that is SOP for the Secret Service guarding the presidential motorcade now. Yes, it is menacing, but I figure they are the experts are presidential security. Maybe things have changed since 9/11.

On Bush’s watch...never heard or saw it. Anyone?

Remember 30 reports a day includes threats by incarcerated prisoners and psychiatrically impaired people. Lots of these people are already locked up and are checked out by the agency. And you can bet that they are not all white.

Some threats to Mr Obama, whose Secret Service codename is Renegade ...

An institutional sense of humor? 1. They call former US Senator obama, "Mr obama", avoiding the title that the druggie in our White House is trying to usurp. 2. "Renegade" and "Traitor" are nearly equivalent in meaning. If I find the agent who chose that nickname for the socialist, I'll buy him a beer.

renegade (noun): traitor, betrayer, turncoat, deceiver, squealer, rat

“Instead of bringing in more agents - instantly identifiable because of their bulky suits, worn over bullet-proof jackets, and earpieces - the Secret Service directed agents to work longer hours to cover the extra load and to miss firearms training, physical fitness sessions and tests.”

That doesn’t surprise me. Nor would it surprise me to see the agents ballooning up. Have you seen recent pix of the boys in ATF? Many are looking real fat and would probably keel over from strokes if they had to run 50 yards.

I’d also guess that the average IQ at the SS has fallen 20 points or more in the past 10 years.

The Washington DC party and loot culture is attracting the dregs of society. I know some of these Marxist federal bureaucrats and they’re foul-mouthed, fat morons, spouting trash like “BUSHISHITLER!!!”

Why would anyone want him dead? I mean, he’s doing a GREAT job at killing the Democratic party and left-wing ideals.

While Obama is not on my Top Ten List (bottom of the Bottom 10—maybe), woe to anyone who tries to do something stupid.

The Secret Service is charged with protecting the President of the United States regardless of who occupies the Oval Office. That is how it should be. The Office is bigger than the man. It might not seem like that now, but this too, shall pass either through the ballot box in 4 years or the end of his 2nd term in 8.

It’s our job to ensure the ballot box in 4, LOL!

88 is claimed to be one of those symbolic numbers that Nazi gay fanatasists like those two losers took seriously

I wonder how many of these threats come from people who voted for him and realize now they were ripped off...

Boo freakin’ Hoo! Man up, Zero! Other Presidents have actually been shot and/or plotted against. Did you really think that everyone believes in your Messiah act??

President Bush was the only President to ever have a movie made about being assassinated. Remember the "Assassins wanted" ads that were on the I'net?

On Bush’s watch...never heard or saw it. Anyone?

"I was driving east on the freeway and noticed that there were no cars on the other side of the freeway. Then I remembered that Bush was coming to town for something or other, and judging by the cops on all the overpasses, I figured this was why no one was on the freeway. I pulled off near the Gateway Transit Center to watch, as many people already were. This Presidential motorcade was a lot longer and more incredible than the one I had previously witnessed downtown. First, about 5 motorcycle cops cruised down the freeway way ahead of the motorcade, then probably about 7-10 normal cops, followed by about 3 suvs with guys hanging out of the back with guns, followed by 3 Presidential limousines (with two flags on either side of the front of the limousine), followed by pretty much the mirror image of what had just preceded them. In addition, there were a few ambulances trailing the entire thing. It was really pretty crazy. I can't imagine living in Washington, DC if this kind of thing has to interrupt traffic all the time. Must be nice to be the President and never have to worry about traffic (well, and all the other perks.)" - link

"What you can't see in that photo is that there are dudes with machine guns in the back of the suv's. Was crossing the street here in NYC a few years ago when Cheney's motorcade went by and I was trying to jaywalk behind and secret service dudes in the open back of SUV aimed there guns at me, that'll teach me not to jaywalk." - link

Since the president is starting to backtrack on his no taxes pledge, wouldn't it be more appropriate if his SS code name was "Reneger" rather than "Renegade"?

They're ready for Obama care!

“I’d also guess that the average IQ at the SS has fallen 20 points or more in the past 10 years.”

Who the hell would want to give their life for this trash? I sure wouldn't!

“The Washington DC party and loot culture is attracting the dregs of society. I know some of these Marxist federal bureaucrats and they’re foul-mouthed, fat morons, spouting trash like “BUSHISHITLER!!!””

Of course! We'll probably get a “gay Gestapo” soon. They're so enamored with “gays” in the military ... why not make them our Secret Police as Hitler did?

I truly find this shocking .. what is going on and the dam sheeple have their heads up their you know whats. If this isn't fascism and a Communist take over I don’t know what is. What does it take to wake up these freaking morons? pissed as hell. We attend out tea parties for sanity.
