"Secret Service Secrets: Obama Threats Up 400 Percent
A new book by Newsmax Chief Washington Correspondent Ronald Kessler features startling revelations about current and former U.S. presidents, including Barack Obama.

'In the President's Secret Service: Behind the Scenes With Agents in the Line of Fire and the Presidents They Protect,' released Tuesday, discloses that threats against the president have increased dramatically — by a staggering 400 percent since Obama entered the White House.

Kessler is the first journalist to penetrate the wall of secrecy that surrounds the U.S. Secret Service, and his book is based on interviews with more than 100 current and former agents.

Once Obama entered the White House, the Secret Service experienced a 400 percent increase in the number of threats against the president, in comparison with his predecessor George Bush. While most of the threats were not credible, each had to be checked out and adjudicated."

It's nothing more than the typical manufactured hype of the 0bama administration. Just like when he sent out the union thugs From the SEIU to manufacture support for his failure of a HC bill

He sees his approval ratings going into the sh!tter so he is trying to create sympathy with this BOGUS threat BS...

This type of behavior is becoming so predictable from the moonbats. The Dems are about to suffer the biggest defeat in the 2010 elections and they know it. Why do you think Reid and Pelosi and the rest of the gang are attacking taxpaying citizens with their manufactured hate (your Nazi's and it's all Astro Turf) Bawhahahaha

This whole thing is nothing more than:

I'm sure it is considered quite threatening to Obama's agenda that many Americans have opened their eyes so early on in his administration and realize voting for him was a big mistake..

Hi Matt! How are you my friend!

It's funny Matt, I have never been political but I can't sit by and let this happen to the great Country I've known my entire life! I knew what obama was about because I did my homework and tried to warn anyone who would listen!

We have to vote them all out in 2010 and 2012!

yes he is not delivering what his own party expected from him,......so they are having the threats made toward him... and blaming it on the Right side ......how convenient huh? why else would they spend a billion dollars to have him elected , they expected something from him , and he isn't living up to their expectations ......

IMO

I don't think anyone can explain why someone would threaten a person's life.

However, if you take into consideration that people who had never been interested in politics until the last election, voted for the very first time in their lives, either in favor of or against Obama, (shockingly, even people well into their forties), you'll see that numbers have increased across the board.

I'd like to see stats on the percentage of first time voter registrations (no ACORN stats, please), which might even things out in comparison to previous presidents and threats.

Hummmmmmm, he apologizes to the world, says we are not a Christian Nation, bows down to people he sees fit to bow down to, says that police act stupidly, offends people who attends tea parties, doesn't say a flippin thing when the people of this country are called mobsters, racists and violent when we are exercising our freedom of speech and questioning him and his administration, advises others to snitch on anyone who doesn't agree with him, lies and lies and lies some more and tells us he's not lying......He needs to start acting like a president and not a community organizer.

Don't get me wrong....I pray for this man...the Bible instructs us to pray for our enemies and I am doing just that! I wouldn't want any harm to come to this man, and I do pray for him to fail in his little plan for my country! He refuses to hear the people...he only hears what he chooses. He won based on his ability to speak, now his actions are showing what a thug he really is.....
