81-year-old Elwyn Nels Fossedal, from Wisconsin, was arrested yesterday and charged with threatening President Obama’s life, according to federal court records. Fossedal was in a post office near his Wisconsin home last month when he announced, “If President Obama was here I would shoot him right there and kill him right now” according to prosectors.

Fossedal is a ‘birther’ and a Rush Limbaugh fan, playing into the myth that America’s first black president can’t legitimately hold the highest office in the land.

Secret Service agents paid Fossedal a visit about about the threat–which was relayed to law enforcement by witnesses– but he “repeated the threat using different words. He also made a number of additional threats towards the President,” according to a felony complaint.

The Smoking Gun reports, “A Secret Service investigation determined that Fossedal’s wife Margaret Ann–to whom he had been married nearly 57 years–died in early-October and that “he is displacing his grief on her loss with anger towards” Obama and other public officials being protected by the Secret Service.”

Which brings a whole new issue to ‘Blame Obama’ with.

According to an investigator, Fossedal “is proficient in the use of various firearms.”
