The Obamas: Refusing to give in to the haters after years of threats and abuse - GMDino - 04-03-2016 https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/the-obamas-refusing-to-give-in-to-the-haters-after-years-of-threats-and-abuse/2016/03/31/c3dc2310-f775-11e5-9804-537defcc3cf6_story.html?tid=sm_fb Quote:The most popular license in America now? When I see a post about how we need "class" brought back to the White House I think about how the Obama's have to handle themselves with all this crap coming at them every day. They are as classy as it gets. RE: The Obamas: Refusing to give in to the haters after years of threats and abuse - jason - 04-03-2016 I actually heard those shots at the White House.... I was standing outside a bar on Pennsylvania Ave. It was the Friday night before Veterans' Day. RE: The Obamas: Refusing to give in to the haters after years of threats and abuse - fredtoast - 04-03-2016 I am sure all presidents get threats. But Democrats are such pusses their threats don't seem as scary. RE: The Obamas: Refusing to give in to the haters after years of threats and abuse - StoneTheCrow - 04-03-2016 Heavy is the head. I hadn't heard about the shots fired. Either my head was under a rock or it should've been way bigger news.

It was a big story in DC. I guess there are always a lot of tourists in Washington, but it was amplified that weekend. It was Veterans' Day on Saturday, and Maryland was playing Notre Dame at the Redskins' stadium. The whole Occupy movement had a camp set up just up the street from the White House.

Dubya got plenty. RE: The Obamas: Refusing to give in to the haters after years of threats and abuse - michaelsean - 04-04-2016 I guess getting shot (Reagan) doesn't compare to having shots fired when you aren't even there. It's amazing how people forgot the absolute vitriol thrown at W.

I believe the article is based on: https://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 Quote:During Obama’s first run for the presidency, the issue of clearest concern was his race, which made him a magnet for threats from people who thought it disqualified him from the office. The ability to "threaten" the POTUS is much easier now than in even 2008. Now if you want to compare people making jokes about W vs ones about Obama...no doubt. W was seen as dumb and people made fun of that at his expense. But actual physical threats? I bet Obama is well in front of him in that category.

I'll bet Reagan would exchange a bullet in the lung for mean emails. And wasn't there some movie that depicted the assassination of W? RE: The Obamas: Refusing to give in to the haters after years of threats and abuse - michaelsean - 04-04-2016 And according to the story, Obama received more threats the first year in a time where it's easier to threaten the President, and the threats have leveled off to normal levels since then. What exactly is the story?

What exactly is the story? The story is that Obama is a drama queen and he's lucky no one with a gun thinks shooting him would impress Jodie Foster. |
