ORIGINAL: GoddessManko thishereboi, where are the links Lucy requested? I too am curious about the comments you are referring to. Does anyone also notice there have been three assassination attempts of this President by different races/genders? It's all very strange. He is now also being blamed for this incident in NY. The media has been strange lately. They seem to focus on very "hot button" topics like racial pandering but to what end? "Mr Obama"? He is the President, LOL. Shouldn't we be more concerned with how the economy and schools are doing? I will admit a backlash was a part of my worry. Like I said I like living in the US. I'm wondering for how much longer I will permanently reside here though as I am more open than ever to international relocation including my home in the Caribbean. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_threats_against_Barack_Obama just a few of them... back in 2009 .....Since Mr Obama took office, the rate of threats against the president has increased 400 per cent from the 3,000 a year or so under President George W. Bush, according to Ronald Kessler, author of In the President's Secret Service. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/5967942/Barack-Obama-faces-30-death-threats-a-day-stretching-US-Secret-Service.html In October of this year, the Wa PO had this article http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/the-new-dynamics-of-protecting-a-president-most-threats-against-obama-issued-online/2014/10/07/a525ef6c-4b11-11e4-891d-713f052086a0_story.html <snip>According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the number of anti-government militia groups in the United States — which reached 858 during the Clinton administration — had dipped to a low point of 131 in 2007 under Bush. But it rose to 1,096 last year, a nearly tenfold increase since Obama took office.</snip> <snip>Since Obama took office, at least 65 people have been indicted on charges of threatening to harm him. In January, Daniel L. Temple, who had tweeted “im coming to kill you” and “so I gotta kill barack obama first,” was sentenced to 16 months in prison after pleading guilty. Nicholas Savino was sentenced in March to a year in prison for posting this on the White House Web site in August 2013: “President Obama the Anti-Christ, As a result of breaking the constitution you will stand down or be shot dead.” Police, who arrested Savino a few days after he posted the statement, found three guns and about 11,000 rounds of ammunition in his apartment and car.</snip> <snip>Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) said in an interview that “there’s a meanness in American society today that reminds me of the period in our history, the civil rights period, where it was dangerous to speak up and speak out.”</snip> oh and lastly <snip>Some critics do turn violent. Jerad Miller had called for Obama’s impeachment on his Facebook page; in June he and his wife, Amanda, shot two police officers in a pizza restaurant in Las Vegas. They placed a swastika and a “Don’t tread on me” flag on one officer’s body and a note on the other’s that read, “This is the start of the revolution.” Miller died in a shootout with police, while his wife committed suicide.</snip> That hardly got a mention on this forum....
