First Lady & Death Threat

A scary story last week, as a woman was arrested for threatening to "blow away" our first lady Michelle Obama. The woman made this threat directly to members of the US Secret Service, and she was then promptly arrested & charged with threatening the President's family, and assault of a federal agent (for resisting arrest). This is the latest of numerous threats against the President and his family that have been revealed and/or stopped since he took office a year ago. President Obama has had the highest security ever provided a Cheif Executive, despite the one recent slip up at their state dinner.

The woman reportedly has a history of sending strange messages out to the secret service, ranging from various kinds of threats to even love letters and poetry. She will now presumably have much more free time to write, but little chance to do anything else. Except hopefully get treatment and medication for her mental illness.
