It's not surprising if you spend anytime listening to AM radio or visit right wing websites, I'm surprised there hasn't been more of this. Just read any political thread here on ATS.

But Congress has a lower approval rating than the president but right wing media isn't constantly attacking them like they do Obama.
Nor are they under attack like Obama, hell Bush was more unpopular than Obama but he didn't have to deal with this kind of crap!!!

I have to ask, what do YOU mean when you say progressive? It seems to me that this term ought to be positive, rather than having a negative meaning attached to it, since progress would ordinarily be well received, not poorly thought of.
Progress after all is normally a good thing. One who makes progress in getting the homeless off the street and into programs which allow them a route back to living in a dwelling place, would be making progress. One who prevents and shines light on corruption in police forces and public offices, could be considered to be making progress, and allowing progress to be made in other areas as resources once embezzled, become free for the doing of public works and the like.
Either people who use this term are using the wrong terminology to describe the targets of their dislike, or the name is deliberately misleading.
I certainly cannot understand why someone who wants to make progress, could attract the ire of the average citizen? Please explain this discord!

Just heard this on the local news here in DC. Another person has been caught at the White House and this time it's a woman named April Lenhart.
A 23-year-old woman was arrested for carrying an unregistered handgun near the White House late Thursday evening.
She has been identified as April Lenhart of Michigan. Secret Service officials say she has not been cooperative in interviews.
Wednesday, a man who claimed Pres. Obama called him directly and asked him to go to the White House, was arrested for unlawful possession of a rifle.
The Secret Service has been under scrutiny since a Texas Army veteran, Omar Gonzalez, leapt over a White House fence on Sept. 19 and charged into the White House. Gonzalez made it way all the way into the East Room before he was tackled, thanks to a string of Secret Service failures detailed in an internal review out last week.
Things are not looking good for Obama. I hope he lives to see the end of his Presidency. What says ATS?

The title of your thread says 'Another Shooter Caught at Whitehouse"
I was not aware being in possession of a pistol in the mish mash labyrinth of Washington DC's gun laws automatically made someone a shooter?
Does that mean if I see a drunk on the street on the strip in Vegas I've just spotted another drunk driver whos going to run over another 2 female siblings.
Ok, so maybe I was a bit too hasty when I posted; it was spur of the moment. So, it was not indeed a "shooter" but it is a woman from Michigan with an unregistered handgun near the Whitehouse.........

However, the point is that there is a definite "build-up" of individuals with guns around or near the White House. He may not be a popular guy but he is still our President. Bush was worse and there weren't this many threats on his life. Yes, there were no shots fired but maybe there would have been if she weren't stopped.

I don't think it's a crime to have an unregistered firearm.
Any law,ordinance,statue that goes against the constitution of the U.S. in the least little bit is considered null and void. Example: the brady bill.
Hint:If you live in the U.S., learn the constitution and how to defend your rights outlined there in.
That's where a lot of Americans are getting taken advantage of; they don't know their rights and they are unknowingly giving them up and being prosecuted unlawfully by many that have taken an oath to uphold the constitution, but they are violating that oath which constitutes treason.
You see? That's the ploy some are taking up; to take away our/your rights in order to lord over the U.S.

Weird I listen to AM radio all the tine and have yet to hear anyone that I listen to advocate for the harming of the president........
Nice copout though......
There are a lot of political threads on ATS that do not agree with Obama but just because youre critical of someone doesnt mean you wish harm on them........
What have we come to in this Republic when we cannot even disagree with someone else , w out making them an enemy worthy of bodily harm?
I think you need to rethink your own vitriol before casting your gaze onto others.........

I know there are plenty of people who dislike Obama and his policies but killing him isn't the answer. As more and more people go to the W.H. with guns in their possession the possibility of someone trying to kill him become more and more apparent.
