NEW YORK (AP) — A Manhattan man who threatened to kill U.S. Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor and said he wanted to kill President Barack Obama has been arraigned on charges of making a terroristic threat.

A criminal complaint says 48-year-old John Zaubler called 911 Saturday and said he was going to kill Sotomayor by "blowing her up" because he did not want his girlfriend to go to federal prison.

The complaint also says he wanted to kill Obama by "blowing him up."

He's either completely crazy or is looking for a place to stay during the recession.

Jeez! What is with these people. Do they want attention? Alot better and smarter ways to get it than saying you are going to kill the president and his supreme court nominee.

If they want attention, they should go through with the act rather than just talk about it. Then they'd really get attention.

True, personally i would not want that attention. But seriously if you are going to do something why blab about it? That is the dumbest thing to do because even if you are kidding people are not going to see it that way. That's why its wisest to keep my mouth closed and listen and watch. Never let people get an edge!

Yeah, but people are slow to learn. Look how many folks foolishly continued to make jokes at the airport about having bombs in their luggage after 9/11.

Maybe he lost his job to one of the criminal aliens and is looking for a taxpayer-funded home.

Sounds like you've given it some thought?
