4. I Heard Of A Threat To Obama A While Back, And I
called his campaign immediately. It went straight to the top, but since the Secret Service was likely involved, I was not privy to any actions/non-actions that were taken, but I was assured it was handled.

24. The problem is it can't be verified...
Edited on Tue Oct-21-08 05:41 PM by casus belli
I don't think those interviewed have been particularly cooperative with helping the Secret Service identify the person/s responsible.

14. There are no "Obama Offices"
Edited on Tue Oct-21-08 04:59 PM by NEDem
It's the Secret Service, they don't have candidate specific offices. Just call the local number, it'll be in the phone book.

29. I reported the scum at
nothalfbigoted who claimed that they were invading the DNC Convention. Scum Johnson had photos on his blog and his blog reported that the swapping of IDs was done in front of the Secret Service. I called the Secret Service, I was told they would look into it and I heard nothing more.

7. I reported one last week
Edited on Tue Oct-21-08 04:41 PM by HereKittyKitty
I tried to call the nearest office and they appeared to be closed, so I called the main office in DC. They took all the information and seemed to take it seriously. That number was 202-406-8000.

11. Is this a threat?
The "he" is obama.




Nothing surprises me anymore as far as that poor excuse of a human being, he will use anything and anyone to get his vote. He is nothing but a snake in the grass and I wish the exterminators would do their job.

13. I called the obama office and they took my information.
I feel the person at the secret service bungled the URL of the threat.

25. I hope the woman who wrote the threat gets sent to jail.
It would get back to the Obama haters on this forum and maybe they would stop.

30. I was at the rally in KC on Saturday
And it warmed my heart to hear the crowd cheer when the Minister asked God to keep John McCain safe. From where I stood, it sounded like the cheer was just as loud as it was when he asked God to keep Obama safe. That felt very good.

Maybe I'm naive, but I can't imagine someone at an Obama rally yelling that.
