Oconee County, GA Politics

At the end of his speech last night at the Oglethorpe County Board of Commissioners office in Lexington, 10th district Congressman Dr. Paul Broun asked for questions from the audience, and a red shirted man who had reportedly driven 75 miles to come to meeting asked "Who's gonna shoot Obama?" The chair of the Science, Space and Technology Committee's subcommittee on investigation and oversight chuckled merrily in response along with a large section of the audience. Many people in the audience did not hear the question but did hear the laughter. Members of Congressman Broun's staff were seen videotaping the event. So far this has no tape or recording of the question has surfaced.

Making a threat on a Presidential candidate's life is a felony. Woven brightly, Daniel J.
