Sounds like someone he knows was trying to get him in trouble. the secret service had a duty to investigate the claim

Most small business owners cannot afford to hire anyone not knowing the true costs of Obamacare. Don't believe it just stop in at any mom and pop store and ask them. Yes it is that bad!
Why the SS would investigate this is beyond intelligent conversation. Remember freedom of speech? I seem to remember reading that somewhere.

That's there job. They have to at least question the nut.

Did you even read the article where it said they went there based on a tip from the FBI, and it was basically a waste of time? The Secret Service is required to investigate any potential claim of a presidential threat, regardless of how mundane. They did so, and found nothing worth continuing with.

Silly thread is silly.

It has exceptions. Did you fail to read that part?

Freedom of speech doesn't, and has never covered, threatening the life of the president.

It looks like it was horsecrap but it will get investigated no matter what.

It's not freedom of speech if it just happens to the person you don't like.

The secret service has a duty to ascertain exactly what he meant by, "Obama gone."
