Truth be told, there are more threats against President Obama than previous candidates or incumbents. I see a great deal mentioned about popularity, but not one word about race. I think it should be said that race is an issue to indirectly call out the racists in this country.

Way to go Phil, in 18 words you lowered yourself to ignorant levels. Why not make a rational comment about the article? This has nothing to do with our President. It has to do with protecting the election process (even protecting your Republican candidate, whoever that will be).

I think it is money well spent. No matter who is running or who wins, it would be a big embarrassment to the USA if one of our candidates or president were hurt or killed. If the assailant is from a terrorist group, the amount of publicity they could get, and the number of new recruits they could get, would vault the group to super-terrorist status immediately. Protect the candidates and the President and VP at almost any cost.
