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.

And corrupt
Did you get to Colombia on that trip or in that era?
Years on the lam. High price on his head. (pleasant fantasy, isn’t it?)
No, never been there.... although we were traveling with some kids from there -— and at least back then, it didn’t sound bad (but maybe my memory is foggy).
And those are just the days when Michelle is in good mood!
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??
Aw Jeez-give me a barf alert or something. I will no doubt have nightmares tonight.
You are welcome.
LOL. I wish I had thought of that.
I heard it was pretty tough security there at that time because of the many kidnappings. Anyway the scene came to mind when you mentioned your experience in Peru.
Not 87? Or 89 for that matter? It's asking too much to expect to take ridiculous "plots" such as that seriously.
LOL!
Everyone knows what I’m talking about, right? And how UNUSUAL and non-SOP it was....?

“...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...”
Maybe Americans don’t like Marxist dictators.
Yeah, maybe they were more low-key in their uniforms or maybe our friends were just used to it, or just didn’t talk about it......
The Lima Airport, on the other hand, gads, scary, out of a Hollywood movie. Just like this BO-followed-by-an-open-SUV summons to mind! A horror movie!
All racism is a death threat worthy of reporting your neighbor, be it real or imagined.
Anyone think his unofficial code name will now be “Joker”?
At least it wasn’t a few “Technicals”! Just one assault rifle pointed out the half-opened back hatch.
Great............ :0)
so that is more than 5,000 people in the last 6 months that have threatened Barry with death?
Come on! That would make the news and we would see a whole lotta people going to jail.
This article is a load of crap.
