IT SEEMS THAT AS OF LATE DEATH THREATS AGAINST OBAMA HAVE INCREASED AND A NEW TASK FORCE HAS BEEN FORMED TO TRACK AND EVALUATE THESE THREATS. SOURCES INDICATED THAT THE NUMBER OF THREATS HAS GONE UP IN RECENT MONTHS. I'VE NO DOUBT THAT THREATS ARE COMING ALMOST DAILY AND THAT MOST ARE FROM CRANKS, BUT BURIED WITHIN THE MANY ARE IN ALL LIKELIHOOD SOME THAT ARE OF A SERIOUS NATURE. ONE MUST REMEMBER HOWEVER THAT A DEDICATED ASSASSIN WILL NEVER BROADCAST HIS INTENTIONS. IN RECENT HISTORY THOSE POLITICAL LEADERS WHO HAVE FALLEN PREY TO MAD MEN WERE FOR THE MOST PART VICTIMS OF SOMEONE FROM THE LEFT. THE TWO KENNEDY'S WERE BOTH SHOT BY SOMEONE FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM, MLK ON THE OTHER HAND WAS A VICTIM OF A RIGHT WING ASSASSIN. ONE NEVER KNOWS WHERE THE REAL THREAT WILL COME FROM, BUT THE ONE THING THAT IS PROFOUNDLY TRUE IS THAT THE ASSASSINATION OF A LEADER ONLY ASSURES THAT HIS POLICIES WILL BE ADOPTED. SO I WOULD CONTEND THAT OBAMA IS SAFE FROM A LOGICAL RIGHT WING KILLER (IF THERE IS SUCH A THING)---BUT A CRAZY MAN, WHO KNOWS.
