The FBI is looking into reports in Denver media
outlets that a man under investigation for drug and weapons
violations may have made threats against Barack Obama.
A government official says it's "premature" to say if there
was a valid threat or whether it's possible the suspect had the
ability to carry out the threat. Obama will be in Denver this week
to accept the Democratic nomination for president.
An FBI spokeswoman confirmed that the agency is investigating
the reports but declined to elaborate.
Aurora Police Detective Marcus Dudley said that 28-year-old
Tharin Robert Gartrell was arrested early Sunday in a routine
traffic stop in the Denver suburb of Aurora. He is being
investigated for possible methamphetamine and firearms violations.
Two other people were arrested in the case.

“I want to say something about Barack Hussein Obama’s name. It is a name to be proud of. It is an American name. It is a blessed name. It is a heroic name, as heroic and American in its own way as the name of Gen. Omar Nelson Bradley or the name of Benjamin Franklin. And denigrating that name is a form of racial and religious bigotry of the most vile and debased sort. It is a prejudice against names deriving from Semitic languages!”

That’s right. Which color?  Obama is no different than any other president.  That’s the point I was trying to make.

well if it is because of his color. which color?
maybe he does have threats against him, but all presidents do. he is no different.

Report Abuse

excuse me they are not putting threats against orama because of his skin color. if they are making threats it is becaue of his views. he is a socialst. the fact that any person with the name obama hussein could be elected president of the united states after 9/11 is an insult to the 9/11 victims.

I fully support Obama.  I think it’s very ignorant for people to put out threats against Obama just because of his skin color.  One particular race of people is no better than the other race.  God is the ruler; not man.  I pray for Obama’s safety; I also pray for George Bush and all other high titled people in the United States.  Obama was given intelligence just like any other man God created.  I hate to think what would happen if an assasination attempt against Obama would occur.  Why can’t we all get along?

Report Abuse

It is scary. I personally don’t support Obama, but I would not want anything like that to happen to him. This shows the stupidity of some people. I could care less the color of skin, I don’t think he will be an effective leader. It does concern me though, that if something DID happen to him, what would happen on our streets. We would have civil war on our streets, and it would be much worse than the Rodney King days.

I’m almost sure this won’t be the only threats he gets.  I’ve heard some say this will be another assination, like carter I think it was back then. I don’t know myself I hope not though!
