Sorry, but that gets a big from me.

The article is from World Net Daily, hardly a source I trust too much for any thing coming close to objectivity.

But really, what was in that article about what an Obama presidency would be like? That someone -- in this case, a campaign worker -- seems to have made a report to the Secret Service that turned out not to have a basis? (Of course, it's not clear from the article whether the campaign worker did so intentionally or unintentionally -- is it possible that the campaign worker misunderstood what was said on a cellphone in a moving car?) That the Secret Service did what they're supposed to do under the circumstances? What does any of this have to do with an Obama presidency.

Folks on the left made the same hysterical claims about what the Bush presidency would be like.

But hey, at least this guy didn't say Obama is the Anti-Christ?

According to Snopes.com this story can not yet be verified. However, they are reporting that the Obama campaign and the Secret Service are investigating.

As I noted before, when I worked in adult psych, any time the Pres or VP were going to be in town, the secret service showed to interview at least one of our patients because they had a history of making a death threat against the person. It happened all the time. If that campaign worker misheard her comment about dying babies on the floor and thought she was referring to Obama dying, then yes, the Secret Service is going to show up. That's the way things are since Presidents have been assassinated. that's what the Secret Service does for all Presidents/candidates of both parties. It's not new, it's not out of the ordinary.

If this is true then that volunteer should be thrown in jail. Hopefully it was just a big misunderstanding.

This is the link that originally appeared in the Lufkin Daily News. There's a picture of Jessica and her husband.

Exactly. And, last time I checked the Obama campaign wasn't running the Secret Service.

The whole thing sounds fishy to me.

Funny to hear Obama giving the same (literally word for word!) 'change' speech for the last 10 years of his short career.

Yup there is a way to go back and watch it. I thought the episode was great, but I'm generally a pretty big fan of Frontline. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/

The episode about Obama is the one entitled "Terrorist in the Family", correct?

I thought about going there, but I'm not going too....Considering that it covered both candidates, you might want to pick a different one.

Don't you think that same thing happens on the other side of the coin?

[ajuhdg]

ABSOLUTELY! I made the same point in another thread, and this is what was sent to me. I would've posted the same thing had it been about McCain. People are voting 'blindly' without knowing ANYTHING about who they are picking, or really even caring.

Something else my dad sent me today...when did we start letting old people use the internet!? LOL!

The moral of the story...


There's an old sea story in the Marine Corps about a lieutenant who inspected his Marines in the field, and afterward told the "Gunny" that the men smelled bad. The lieutenant suggested the solution is that they should change underwear.


The Gunny responded, "Aye, aye, sir, I'll see to it immediately!" The Gunny went straight to the squad tent and announced, "The lieutenant thinks you guys smell bad, and wants you to change your underwear. Smith, you change with Jones, McCarthy, you change with Witkowsky, and Brown, you change with Schultz. Now get to it!"


THE MORAL: A candidate may promise 'change' in Washington , but don't count on things smelling any better.
