Believe it or not, but President Barack Obama has received more Death
Threats than all the other US Presidents combined!
So can any-one out there offer any kind of proof that it is not racially
motivated!

Secret Service: Threats Against Obama No Higher than Normal
Posted by Stephanie Condon 4 comments
5803574The director of the Secret Service today disputed
widely-reported claims that President Obama is receiving more death
threats than previous presidents.
At a congressional hearing into the White House security breach that
took place last week, when Tareq and Michaele Salahi "crashed" the
White House state dinner, Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan said
the current threat level against the president is normal.
"The threats right now ... is the same level as it has been for the
previous two presidents at this point in their administrations,"
Sullivan said.
Sullivan was the only requested witness who agreed to testify today
before the House Homeland Security Committee, and he said the Secret
Service takes responsibility for allowing the Salahis to enter the
state dinner uninvited. Three Secret Service officers are currently
under suspension because of the incident, he said.
Since news of the security breach broke, members of Congress have
commented that the incident was particularly troubling in light of the
number of threats against the first African-American president.
"It is well known, it's been in the press over and over again, that
this president has received far more death threats than any president
in the history of the United States," Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton, the
congressional delegate for the District of Columbia, said at today's
hearing.
The Boston Globe report last month noting that the threats against Mr.
Obama have fallen back to typical levels, Mark Hosenball of Newsweek
writes that the reports of a 400 percent increase in threats can be
traced back to a book about the Secret Service published earlier this
year by author Ronald Kessler.
Sullivan said today that the president was not at risk the night of
the state dinner.
