All I'm saying is that Bush may have to watch his back. I'm not imposing anything, I'm just putting a thought out there. Since when is it illegal
to have ideas that can help?
The president falls under a different set of rules than the rest of the world.

That is an example of a 16 year old blogger getting arrested for "threatening" the president.
Now it isn't up to me to determine what is or is not a threat. I would assume though, that the FBI probably doesn't see eye to eye with you on what
could be perceived as a threat.
Again, I am not telling you what you can or can't post. I am simply trying ot bring to your attention that you could be doing something that people
have been arrested for.
EDIT: (Here is the law)
www4.law.cornell.edu...
"Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail or for a delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier any letter,
paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing
any threatto take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President
of the United States, the President-elect, the Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President of the
United States, or the Vice President-elect, or knowingly and willfully otherwise makes any such threat against the President, President-elect, Vice
President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President, or Vice President-elect, shall be fined under this title or
imprisoned not more than five years, or both."
I think "any threat" would be the part to be concerned with. Again, it is up for interpretation, not mine or yours, but the governments
interpretation of what you wrote.
