Secret Service says number of threats against president 'overwhelming'
By Brandi Kruse
97.3 KIRO FM
The U.S. Secret Service field office in Seattle responds to threats against the President of the United States daily. They call the sheer number "overwhelming."
When a Federal Way man accused of threatening to kill President Barack Obama makes a scheduled appearance in court Monday, the Secret Service in Seattle will likely be busy responding to new threats against POTUS, and others under their protection.
According to the U.S. Secret Service field office in Seattle, agents here respond to multiple threats each day.
"Our goal and our mandate is to immediately respond to any direct threat against the president, the first family, any other Secret Service protectees such as the vice president, or visiting heads of state," said Bob Kierstead, assistant special agent in charge of the Seattle field office.

Kierstead said many of those who make such threats are mentally ill, and it is the goal of the Secret Service to find them help. It can be "sobering," he said, when agents show up at their door.
"It can be upsetting, but any type of threat against the president is a violation of federal law," he said.
According to the Secret Service, the president is the most threatened person in the U.S., regardless of political party. He is not made aware of all threats against him, however, because Kierstead said the "sheer number would be overwhelming and, frankly, distracting."

65. Presidenting while black?
Is it that he's a Democrat or a black Democrat or something else entirely?

53. I would love to see the day
When Poppy and his sons get tried for all the crimes they have committed. Just to see little Bush get arrested and brought to prison would be good enough for now. I want that old piece of shit alive to see it.

7. Blame the traitoruous "news" media
Limbaugh, Beck, Oreilly, well all of Fox news, but also the other stations as well, Gregory, CNN, almost all of them contribute.
They purposely have mislead the idiot class. They have rightly gotten them angry, but have purposely lied about the reasons to be mad. They were hoping one of them might actually get lucky and get him. THey made the tea party.
Incitement
The secret service should be visiting the news outlets.

14. Man I was naive enough to think after he won the election people would forget
the color of his skin. (I'm assuming a large majority of the threats are racist based) I guess I just didn't release how racist this country really is, shockingly so. Can't believe the number of people I have known for years making racist comments after 2008. I've lost respect for a lot of people I thought were pretty good people, they'll never have my respect again. A few I've told just that.
Like the original poster said, all this really does make my heart hurt.

33. You'd think the Con's would love BHO, who's a Reagan Republican.
But you'd be wrong. They can't see beyond the color of his skin.

55. If *ANYTHING* happens to the president
certain groups lose their electricity privileges.
They wanna play threats?
Here's mine:
targeted EMPs to wipe out their power, seismic sound patterns to flatten shut their water and gas pipes, and hackers to wipe out their credit and savings accounts.

So that bastion of conservatism SEATTLE hates Obama?
Who knew?
The DUmmy mindset is revealed here.
If a nut attacks their president, entire sections of society are attacked and punished.
This is not retaliation. Its the mental foundation supporting a bloody purge.
It just makes that app the democrats use all the more ominous> The app is officially for election purposes, but it identifies each household by political affiliation. Democrats know who are loyal party people and who are not.

I just can't seem to work up any concern for threats against owebuma.

My goal is to defeat the sorry so-in-so and then never have to hear his name again.

You will still have to hear his name, as he will be put in the history books as not only the very first black President, but one of the greatest Presidents ever. They will be kissing his ass throughout eternity.....And all the liberal professors, and school teachers, will teach about how great he was; as apposed to how much he sucked.
They will mourn the fact that racist America only gave him one term. Then as things improved under the Romney administration they will say that it was 0bama's policies that lead to that improvement.Bingo. They will do everything in their power to make Obama a martyr.
Please do! Can you imagine the martyrdom we would all have to suffer for the rest of our lives?

Yeah, I can imagine, just look at JFK 50 years later.That narcissist? I think he and the rats will simply use his defeat in November to forever label the GOP as racists.
I wouldn't put it past the egotistical bastard to have himself shot just to achieve that martyrdom.

The same America that was racially colorblind enough to elect him now is too racist to re elect him ?That's the plan. Unfortunately the charge of racism has been used so often that it is meaningless right now.

Don't act so shocked, DUmmies. It's not hard to find things liberals say about black conservatives on a daily basis. It includes a lot of threats and nasty insults.
My grandmother in TX is a democrat. She starts frothing at the mere mention of Bush. But she voted for Obama because that is what a good democrat does. She still calls him the N word when talking about him. They are such hypocrites. (I hate my grandmother. Her BDS was so bad)
And your point is.....vesta, dear?
My point is Frank that this Obama is and stands for all the things that people, men and woman have died to prevent. The Old Timers that missed the bullet of the taking over the American way of life knew and had lived through close calls-----those that by the grace of God knew once tried. would come around in the future wearing another hat. BEWARE.
These old timers that were lucky enough to go to school were EDUCATED. Both Grandmas went to school to become school teachers. We have found records of their times in school, Their grades and the subjects they had to master.
Both had to learn Latin and Greek, not math or what ever above algebra. Both had to be learn a musical instrument. They both had to learn lessons on manners and deportment, had to learn European history and how it effected our new country.
Proper English language and to insist the students could tell the difference in a Clause and a Dangling participle. What ever any of these mean in my public education.
To me a dangling Participle is a small dick on a man, a Clause is what what a bear has on his feet.
My point is the same old comes up each generation wearing a different hat, new name, new hat but the same old shit we have had to fight from the time of the beginning.
Old Obama has with no public outcry changed some laws, ignored others and with no approval placed other laws into the country with no approval of anyone.--------This the reason the older folks still alive and terrified of Obama.
Should we not pay attention to these family members that have lived through the years trying to protect America ?? Teachers teach what they are taught but the old Timers who were there saw. Now see how history says they are mistaken.

Hey, while you are at it, why don't you threaten to raise a Zombie Army which only eats Right wingers? Or use your newly found control of the Rove Weather MachineTM?
Since all these "threats" are equally possible to execute from your mommy's basement.
A point?
And your point is.....vesta, dear?
In thousands of posts, she has yet to make one of those.
