If you think the housing crash was bad you're in for a real treat with commercial real estate.

Followers are crashing town hall meetings and basically getting whipped into a frenzy like they were during the campaign when they were yelling things like "terrorist" and "kill him" at rallies before the McCain campaign stepped back on the rhetoric that was whipping people into such a frenzy.

One heavily armed woman scouted out a military base to plan a terrorist attack against it because Glenn Beck convinced her it was a FEMA camp.

I realize Clinton faced the same irrational fear before going down as one of the most successful presidents, but I'm increasingly concerned Obama won't survive long enough to reach that point.
I don't have time to write a lot here, but: Yes, I'm often worried about Obama's safety. A few nights ago, I actually prayed that he wouldn't be shot or attacked by some crazy right wing nut.

Oh stop with this nonsense! I am sending this to Glenn Beck, I hope you hear from his attorney for spreading these lies. All you liberals do nothing but come up with lies to try to make anyone who cares about their country sound like a nut.

The only time I have seen violence at a rally was liberals are turning over dumpsters or burning cars.

AND your comment about the "kill him" at the McCain rally is a blatant lie. That was in Ohio and after Obama made those claims every cop and secret service had been questioned and not one of them heard these words. It was just a LIE!

Liberals Lie, and you are proof of that!

Ridiculous. I am no more worried about Obama's safety as I was about Bush. It is just politics as usual.

I had a dream about this about a week ago. The image of the killer was so real though, it was an old, grey haired White hillbilly kind of guy wearing a flannel shirt with a shotgun. It reminded me so much of the movie "Easy Rider" when Dennis Hopper is killed by those rednecks when they are riding their bikes through Louisiana, pretty sad

As I'm reading it now what Obama claimed also came from that rally. As the article mentions I cited the only one that apparently heard it was the reporter. Just another clear example of the leftist media bias and in this case much worse as it was apparently made up.

Hmmmmm, what did to think of Code Pink?

What did you call it when people were breaking windows and running through the streets during the Republican National Convention? What did you call it when Republican speakers were at a campus and a mob shouted them down and threw pies?

These same people who are contriving the story about death threats are the same people who throw pies at republicans, shout them down at universities, and still think O. J. Simpson is innocent. No one wants to see anything happen to Obama, or any one, but the left is making all this up, and I am starting to believe they would like to see something happen so they can say see I told you so. The left is so looney, they have no compassion for mankind. Methinks they doth protest too much! Thank God we can still use our voices and minds in protest. Check out Obamas friends in Venezuela and Cuba, the left wants our country to follow their example.

Search your soul. You'll find that what Obama is doing is no different than what Democratic presidents have always done, with a significant amount of success. George Washington recognized the importance of the tension between the two sides and fostered it.

What you're witnessing is a healthy society governing itself. We're just balancing what a period of conservative rule did. No need to fear it or to be hostile. It's just the system working itself out.
all Obamba wants to do is help the illegals and 'his' ppl, the minorities. look at how he protects ACORN.
he's ruining america and he doesn't care. imo, he's got a chip on his shoulder towards whites yes and i believe he was ashamed of his mother after she got freaked out by the black man on the street.
regarding obamacare YOU CAN'T INCLUDE 50MILLION MORE PPL-MANY OF THEM ILLEGALS INTO AN ALREADY BOMBARDED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM WITHOUT MASS CHAOS AND RATIONING OF CARE. YOU JUST CAN'T DO THAT! DUH!
How much water can a gallon hold? ONE GALLON, NOT 4!!!!!
