The Secret Service also has cautioned the public not to assume that any threats against Obama are due to racism.

The service investigates threats in a wide range. There are "stated threats" and equally dangerous or lesser incidents considered of "unusual interest" — such as people motivated by obsessions or infatuations or lower-level gestures such as effigies of a candidate or an elected president. The service has said it does not have the luxury of discounting anything until agents have investigated the potential danger.


I'm not surprised. There are plenty of stupid people out there. . . .both racists and Obama girls. If you really think about it, the obsessed are usually the bigger danger. They tend to be less stable.
