Why should I listen to Fox News? They've made it clear they are a
propaganda outlet for Trump. Obvious motive to defame Obama.
Obama doesn't need any help with that. He craps in his own nest.
It will never be said that Obama hid
out in an airplane food trolley cart.
Because he didn't have to.
Because he didn't make himself the
most hated person on the planet.
Skeeter caught lying again.

AI Overview
During his presidency and campaign periods, Barack Obama faced
numerous security threats, plots, and a significantly higher volume of
death threats compared to previous U.S. presidents. However, only one
formal charge of an attempted assassination occurred during his active
time in office, alongside notable disrupted plots during his 2008
campaign.
The 2011 White House ShootingOscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez: On
November 11, 2011, this 21-year-old from Idaho used a semi-automatic
rifle to fire multiple rounds at the White House. Several bullets
struck the residential upper floors, though Barack Obama was away in
California at the time. He was later captured, charged, and sentenced
to 25 years in prison for attempted assassination.Notable Disrupted
Plots (2008 Campaign)
The Denver Plot: In August 2008, three white supremacists (Shawn
Robert Adolf, Tharin Robert Gartrell, and Nathan Dwaine Johnson) were
arrested in Denver, Colorado, for plotting to shoot Barack Obama with
a high-powered rifle during the Democratic National Convention.
The Tennessee Plot: In October 2008, two neo-Nazi skinheads (Daniel
Cowart and Paul Schlesselman) in Tennessee plotted a racially
motivated murder spree intended to culminate in an attempt on Barack
Obama's life. The plot was intercepted by law enforcement before it
could be executed.
