Death Threats To President Obama On His Trip To PR

Caribe Hilton's garden area

Nothing new when it comes to President Obama (or any US President for that matter) and all the international trips have proven the extra security that always brings me back to the trips of India and Ireland.

Police Superintendent José Figueroa Sancha pointed out this morning that they received a phone call with a threat to murder president Barack Obama, during his visit to the Island next Tuesday.

The Police chief stated that the call was received at about 3:00 PM yesterday, and it went straight to the Headquarters of Tactical Operations in San Juan and informed that this matter was turned over directly to the Secret Service.

As El Nuevo Día found out, this threat was specifically involving a shooting against the president of the United States.

Figueroa Sancha’s statements happened when he toured along with thirteen regional commanders of Puerto Rico‘s Police on any possible routs that Obama may take, from US Muñiz National Guard Airbase towards Fortaleza and Caribe Hilton Hotel, where Obama will hold several fundraising activities for his re-election.

UPDATE: Puerto Rico’s Police Chief cleared the air, and no such death threat is dismissed at this point:

The Superintendent of the Police, José Figueroa Sancha, cleared today that “there’s no real death threats against the president of the United States, Barack Obama.”

“After an anonymous phone call received on Friday afternoon, the Secret Service as well as the police“Luego de la llamada anónima recibida el viernes en la tarde, tanto el Servicio Secreto como la Policía, investigated the matter and we corroborated that it had no merits to it” This was the Superintendent’s press release. 

He’s after the Hispanic vote (at least from Florida, because he can’t really get any support from Puerto Rico-after all, they can’t vote for him.) I will upload some propaganda that’s all over possible areas that Obama may use. Nobody knows which road(s), avenues, streets and so forth. All that the whole island knows is that he will attend an event at the Caribe Hilton hotel and will discuss economic policy, plus get his donations from prominent Democrats in the island, and hit the road at about 5:00 PM EST.

It is significant that Obama visits Puerto Rico, because the last president to do so was JFK.

What Has The Media Found On Sarah Palin’s Emails?

Absolutely nothing.

Clowns.

Poll: Who’s Behind Sarah Palin’s “Emailgate”?

This is poll-worthy. I have never conducted a poll before, but is interesting that I haven’t seen one around in the blogosphere that I know of. So here it goes. Someone (or some organization) has fed the media with some bait; they’re fishing for anything that could damage Sarah Palin.

There’s two things I want to throw out there. One: If Sarah Palin does the media rounds, what are they gonna ask her? I mean, they got all the answers already!Two: Will the final GOP official candidate (if it’s not Sarah) get the same love scrutiny?

Governor Palin is very excited about this project, directed and funded by Stephen Bannon. AMC Theaters has released this statement:

“AMC is committed to providing distinct content to diverse audiences across the United States,” said Nikkole Denson-Randolph, VP, Specialty & Alternative Content at AMC Theatres.  “We are proud to consistently offer a wide variety of product to our guests.” 

“We are thrilled that AMC will give The Undefeated a national theatrical release this summer,” says Glenn Bracken Evans. “The documentary is made to be seen on a big screen. With its story of a small-town girl who, against all odds, rises to the pinnacles of American government, the film plays with all the drama of a Rocky picture, only with a woman as the central figure and with politics instead of boxing,” he adds.

In addition to the AMC theatrical roll out, ARC Entertainment will handle the worldwide distribution. ARC’s current slate includes Ironclad, an epic about the signing of the Magna Carta starring Paul Giamatti as King John, and John Carpenter’s The Ward (also being released theatrically by Cinedigm). ARC will release a total of 12 films theatrically this year.
