Via The Weekly Standard and HolyCoast.com comes excellent news:
Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan, testifying today about the state dinner security breach, refuted stories that President Obama has received more threats than previous presidents.
“The threats are not up,” Sullivan said, adding that they receive about the same amount of threats against Obama as they did for presidents Clinton and Bush.
Except of course for those people on the Left who can’t function without a belief in the utter villainy in their political enemies. In that case, the news that the current President is nothing special when it comes to being threatened is probably depressing the living life out of those folks. Check out the TPM link above for some examples, in fact: they’re busy telling themselves stories about how the President really is more at risk, really, uh-huh, no fooling…

RedBeard Friday, December 4th at 1:54PM EST (link)Secret Service says threats are not up, but TPM drones foam and fret and insist that the Secret Service just has to be lying. Pathetic to see a group of people so terribly disappointed that their president isn’t under an elevated threat.
Standard-bearer for grouchy curmudgeonry since, oh, 1975 or so.
Maybe the Secret Service has the people responsible

johnt Friday, December 4th at 3:26PM EST (link)proto- fascists you know. They’ll probably look the other way if trouble comes. So the revised line will go.
Just another piece of news to be studiously ignored by the neurotic ravers of the left. Does one seriously think they can give up their racist & hate theme, so expressive of their own projected rage at anything that disagrees with them?
If the frustrated little nazi’s can ignore the global warming blow up, their fury at the whole human race, this is nothing. It’s already been swept under the rug.

Well it was always a common fear among the black community
Leopard1996 (Diary) Friday, December 4th at 4:53PM EST (link)That if there ever was a black president he would be assasinated, mostly this perpetuated by liberal media writers who worked with folks like Chris Rock to make the movie, “Head of State”. So it serves this same Liberal media to keep that fear out there to control that demographic.

All this over a typo. It's threats to the TOTUS that are up
