Obama assassination plot uncovered?
Breaking news out of Denver concerns a possible assassination plot against Barack Obama. FBI and Secret Service agents arrested two men and a woman after police in Aurora, Colo., arrested a third man after pulling him over for driving erratically, as if drunk. In the truck were two scoped rifles, ammunition, sighting scopes, a bulletproof vest, and walkie-talkies. He allegedly implicated the others, one of whom jumped from a sixth floor hotel window when authorities arrived to question him, but survived. The plot was supposedly to shoot Obama on Thursday night while he delivers his acceptance speech outdoors before 70,000 people at Invesco Field. One of the men wore a white supremacist swastika ring.
I've linked the Los Angeles Times report on the plot above. I recommend watching the YouTube video it includes of a local Denver television report on the arrests. Here also is a column today from Bob Herbert of The New York Times in which he mentions a Detroit Free Press poll that showed 57 percent of Michigan residents feared that someone would try to hurt Obama because of his race and that they feared for his safety.
