	"The Boston Globe reports  that a new internal Congressional Research Service report and government sources say there are an unprecedented number of death threats against President Obama -- and that the Secret Service is insufficiently funded and staffed to deal with them.<br />
	<br />
	According to The Globe, a report issued by the Congressional Research Service shows that the Secret Service is investigating more threats against government officials than ever before, and questions whether the 144-year old agency should continue probing financial crimes, as was its original mandate.<br />
	<br />
	In total, the Secret Service regularly protects 32 people and arranges security for high-profile events. But the election of Barack Obama has increased threats against the president's life by 400 percent from his predecessor, according to "In the President's Secret Service," Ronald Kessler's account of presidential security. The Secret Service has looked into a number of race-based threats since Obama took office, and a Facebook poll that asked "Should Obama be killed?" President Obama also had a Secret Service detail 18 months before the election, the earliest of any Presidential candidate."<br />

	Remember that old Sesame Street song/game "One of these things is not like the other"?<br />
	<br />
	Well, pretending that there's some sort of equivalency between the "disrespect" show Bush and the intense racial hatred being shown to Obama is just peculiar.  One of these things is not like the other.
