PRESIDENT OBAMA GETS 30 DEATH THREATS EVERY DAY:

Yesterday, a new book came out about the Secret Service. It's called "In the President's Secret Service" and it was written by a guy named Ronald Kessler.

Anyway, in the book, Kessler makes the claim that, according to members of the Secret Service, PRESIDENT OBAMA gets 30 death threats every day.

If it's true, that's up almost 400% from the 3,000 or so death threats PRESIDENT BUSH received last year.

I'd like to take this opportunity to remind all disgruntled, mentally unstable psychos out there that it's a felony to threaten the president's life, and it can even be considered TREASON, which is punishable by DEATH!

====================================================================

Yesterday was PRESIDENT OBAMA'S 48th birthday, but it was also White House correspondent Helen Thomas' 89th birthday. So Obama showed up to the White House Briefing Room with cupcakes and a candle while everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to her.

(--At :45, Helen Thomas blows out the candle, and at 1:14 Obama jokes that she wished for healthcare reform.)
