Local television station KCNC revealed that one of the suspects told law enforcement they were "going to shoot [Barack Obama] from a high vantage point using a rifle," according to CBS/AP, which reported the story on Aug. 25. Most of the media did not pick up on the story until Aug. 26.
It is premature to say it was a valid threat or that these folks have the ability to carry it out," said the U.S. Attorney in Denver in a statement, adding, "There is no credible threat to the candidate, or the people of Colorado.
On Aug. 7, news reports surfaced of an arrest in Miami of a 22-year-old white man, who ironically was attending a training class for bail bondsman. He allegedly referred to Obama with a racial epithet saying, "If he gets elected, I'll assassinate him myself." The judge denied ...

Unlike last year, Tuesday's State of the Union address contained no Supreme Court-related drama.
Leading up to the event, speculation swirled as to which Supreme Court justices may skip President Barack Obama's second annual address altogether, given last year's controversy over Justice Samuel Alito's reaction to the president's criticism of the Citizens United case, and the recent rise in tensions between the Court and some members of the other branches of government.

At Senators [Barack Obama] and Hillary Clinton's first public rally together in Unity, N.H., on June 27, where each candidate received 107 votes in the primary contest, Sen. Obama remarked that the votes were not 107 for Clinton and 107 for him, but "214 votes for change in America." However, some Clinton supporters do not want to unite under the Democratic Party and demonstrated this at the rally. One woman from Denyer stuffed tissue in her ears and said, "I can't listen to him. No way are we voting for Obama. We're all voting for [John McCain]," she said, according to The New York Times and The Washington Post.
Obama's wife, Michelle, commented on "The View" when she was a guest co-host that Clinton did suffer from sexism during her presidential campaign run, saying, "People aren't us...

WASHINGTON - Pleading for unity in a divided government, President Barack Obama implored Democratic and Republican lawmakers to rally behind his vision of economic revival for an anxious nation, declaring in his State of the Union address Tuesday night: "We will move forward together or not at all.
Obama addressed a Congress sobered by the assassination attempt against one of its own members, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz. Her seat sat empty, and many lawmakers of competing parties sat together in a show of support and civility. Yet differences were still evident, as when Democrats stood to applaud his comments on health care and tax cuts while Republicans next to them sat quietly.

WASHINGTON -- America's intervention in Libya's civil war, the most protracted and least surreptitious assassination attempt in history, was supposed to last "days, not weeks," but is in its fourth month and has revealed NATO to be an increasingly fictitious military organization. Although this war has no discernible connection with U.S. national security, it serves the national interest, in three ways. It is awakening some legislators to their responsibilities. It is refuting the pretense that the U.N. sets meaningful parameters to wars it authorizes -- or endorses, which is quite different. And it is igniting a reassessment of NATO, a Potemkin alliance whose primary use these days is perverse: It provides a patina of multilateralism to U.S. military interventions on which Europe is es...
