US President Barack Obama is the target of more than 30 potential death threats a day and is being protected by an increasingly over-stretched and under-resourced Secret Service, according to a new book.
Since Mr Obama took office, the rate of threats against the president has increased 400 per cent from the 3,000 a year or so under President George W. Bush, according to Ronald Kessler, author of In the President's Secret Service.
Some threats to Mr Obama, whose Secret Service codename is Renegade, have been publicised, including an alleged plot by white supremacists in Tennessee late last year to rob a gun store, shoot 88 black people, decapitate another 14 and then assassinate the first black president in American history.
Most however, are kept under wraps because the Secret Service fears that revealing details of them would only increase the number of copycat attempts. Although most threats are not credible, each one has to be investigated meticulously.US President Barack Obama is the target of more than 30 potential death threats a day... more

President-Elect Barack Obama - 'Renegade' - had a say in choosing the code name that his guards use when they are whispering into their microphones.
And in keeping with the tradition of having all family members' code names start with the same letter, future first lady Michelle Obama is 'Renaissance', and daughters Sasha and Malia are known as 'Rosebud' and 'Radiance'.
♥
Bonus: John McCain, the four-term senator from Arizona who was Mr Obama's Republican presidential rival, was 'Phoenix'. His fashion-conscious wife, Cindy, was 'Parasol'.
Sarah Palin, the Alaska governor who was McCain's running mate, was 'Denali', named for the national park in her home state and the natural gas pipeline project that she promotes. Her husband, Todd, the North Slope oil worker, was 'Driller'.President-Elect Barack Obama - 'Renegade' - had a say in choosing the code... more
