A Wisconsin man is in federal custody after making threats against President Obama while he was visiting the Badger State earlier this week.
Brian Dutcher, 55, was charged Thursday with making threats against the president, who was visiting La Crosse to tout a proposal to expand overtime benefits for millions of American workers.
The Tomah, Wis., man allegedly approached a security guard at the La Crosse Public Library on Wednesday and said, "The usurper is here and if I get a chance I'll take him out and I'll take the shot," according to an affidavit written by Secret Service Special Agent Jeffrey Ferris.
That day, Dutcher was interviewed by the Secret Service and confirmed he had made the statement and had made similar statements on Facebook.
Dutcher posted on his Facebook page Tuesday, "That's it! Thursday I will be in La Crosse. Hopefully I will get a clear shot at the pretend president. Killing him is our CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY!"

(15,429 posts)Anybody who calls Barack Obama an "Usurper President" is a birther.
There's an active Birther thread on FreeRepublicn where they claim the REAL vote on marriage equality was 4-3 because Sotomayor and Kagan are not legitimately appointed SCOTUS Justices because BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!!!!
Birtherism has not died. They are nuts and many are dangerous nuts.

(47,953 posts)They just say his policies are evil, that he is illegitimate, that he ignores the constitution, etc., etc. Nearly every time I happen to listen to Michael "savage" wiener he says something like "When will we be rid of Obama?" and calling him the greatest threat to the US we have ever faced. Now, the problem with talking in code is that some folks decipher it .
