U.S. authorities investigate suspected threat against Obama: reports

Source: Reuters/Yahoo

Authorities in Connecticut on Friday were investigating a possible threat against President Barack Obama, local media reported.

The U.S. Secret Service, which is responsible for presidential security, issued a statement saying, "Information has been received by law enforcement regarding a potentially suspicious person and vehicle. We are working with our local law enforcement partners to determine the validity of the information provided."

The Hartford Courant said state police were searching for a man who allegedly had made a threat against Obama and was driving a silver Volkswagen Jetta.

Obama was scheduled to be in Rhode Island on Friday night for a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraiser.

I have heard about 10 - 12 already, and I am sure, that we are not told about many of them.

I would like to know why this one made the news. I would think that Reuters has enough other ones.

Unless there is a serious dereliction of duty, I believe our POTUS is safe.

We have no way of knowing what might push the already unstable haters over the edge. My heart would break into a billion pieces if anyone did anything to hurt My President.

This is one of my deepest fears.

Love, Peace and Shelter.
