Security Conerns for Obama?

[Tuckerfan]

Obama placed under Secret Service protection.

Senator Barack Obama, a Democratic presidential candidate whose crowds at political rallies across the country often have numbered in the thousands, was placed under Secret Service protection yesterday, a spokesman for the agency said.

The secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, authorized the protection for Mr. Obama after consulting with a Congressional advisory committee that reviews security for presidential hopefuls. The decision to assign agents to Mr. Obama, nearly nine months before the voting begins, is the earliest the Secret Service has ever issued a security detail to a candidate.

Wonder if he got credible death threats or if they’re just being careful?

I was wondering the SAME thing a week ago. I figured that, being of African descent, he would receive death threats.

Sad. But, I’m confident 99.9% of threats are just that. And I’m glad he’s receiving protecting for the other .1%…and the nutbags who don’t threaten.
