Man charged over Obama death threats
US authorities have arrested a Florida man and plan to prosecute him over alleged threats to kill Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama and President George W Bush, officials say.

Raymond Hunter Geisel, 22, was interviewed on August 1 by agents of the US Secret Service's Miami field office and arrested a day later, said US Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan.

According to a Secret Service affidavit, Geisel told a fellow student in a bail bondsman class "that nigger, if he gets elected, I'll assassinate him myself" - an apparent reference to Obama.

Another student in the class told a Secret Service agent that she had heard Geisel say that "that he hated George W Bush and that he wanted to put a bullet in the President's head," according to the affidavit.

2. Dear God, just when I had stopped worrying about possible assasination problems,
this comes up. I'm glad that they jumped on this. I really do not want anything to happen to Obama.

4. That's a little odd.
All the Presidential candidates get death threats. They must have taken this guy more seriously to arrest him.

9. The face of a right wing terrorist.


He looks like he could be Tim McVeigh's brother.

11. You did read the article, right? He also said he wanted to shoot Bush.
Not sure what his problem is but if wanted to shoot Bush and Obama, I doubt he is a right winger.
