    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.

    Actually that 400 percent is probably just counting every "Obama Socialist-Fascist-what ever else" posters that people are putting up. Mainstream news is starting to call them a threat... What a world we live in.

    Admit it people. When he was giving that speech when he became 'president elect Obama' when the votes were counted, how many of you were just waiting to see if his head was gonna explode at any second from a sniper snot. I know I was sure as fuck watching pretty intently. Not because I hate him, just because it'd be cool to see and it seemed more likely to happen at that moment.

    I also heard that the threats contain the words "Nazi" and "Communist" in them. WTF?

    In one of those moods again?

    I was just annoyed because it was my day off...and I'm a sucker for those kind of long winded events...I wanted to go shopping.

    Anyhoo...are those threats just internal threats?
    I bet GWB got more internal and external threats.

    My guess is they mostly originate from white supremacy organizations.

    This is something I never understood. I can sort of vaguely see where "Communist" comes from because he is sort of on the left, but "Nazi" ? Seriously NAZI ! I mean do these idiots really think Obama hates jews, gays and blacks ? I have visited the Stormfront forums, a self avowed Nazi site, and I can tell you 100% they do not like Obama there, they do not support anything Obama does, nor does Obama support anything they stand for. I think we can safely call anyone who thinks Obama is a Nazi an idiot.

    This is possibly true, but if he is a fascist, he is not a very good one, because I see his political opponents are still on TV and no one has come to confiscate my gun yet.

    No, not yet. I am sure that will happen sooner or later, though.

    People have said that about every Democratic President since FDR, has not happened yet so you will forgive me if I don't hold my breath this time around.

    No, it's just that people only choose to focus on my failed predictions instead of all the things I was saying 5-6 years ago that have since come true.

    The economy, for one.

    I was saying back in 2003-04 that we would see a financial crisis around this period.
