Breaking on All Networks: Obama Assassination Plot Foiled by Secret Service

Did I say "Obama" and "all networks?" I meant "Bush" and the Fairfax Times:

A man in possession of a Chinese passport and an AK-47 was arrested in a Fairfax hotel Sept. 30 for sending threatening messages to President George W. Bush and former Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates.

According to an Oct. 5 search warrant affidavit filed in Fairfax Circuit Court, the United States Secret Service contacted Fairfax police on Sept. 30 after tracking a man named Charn-Chen DAI to an Extended Stay America hotel on Lee Jackson Memorial Highway in Fairfax. Both agencies questioned DAI at that time.

He's only the current President, not The One, so I guess it only qualifies as a local interest story.

Bob,

Are you so obsessed that you can't even post this story without bashing Obama?

Even the most rabid victim of BDS looks positively serene compared to you guys.

Sure. It's CY's fault that someone literally tried to murder the President.

That's sarcasm.

They tried to murder our President and failed. You have noting to gloat about on this thread.

He has very little to gloat about at all. His chosen candidate, despite having a very favorable environment, can't get more than a single-digit lead in the polls--except, of course, for those that grossly oversample Democrats and undersample Republicans. Given that we've seen from the Democrat primaries that Obama tends to underperform his polls by about 5 points, that's a real big problem for the Obama campaign.
