A man by the name of Raymond Hunter Geisel was arrested on Saturday, August 2nd, for threatening to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and President George W. Bush.

Geisel , a resident of Bangor, Maine, who was in Florida attending a bail bondsman’s course, was in class when he allegedly said, “That nigger, if he gets elected, I’ll assassinate him myself.” And on a different occasion a witness over heard Geisel say that, “he hated Bush and wanted to put a bullet in his head.”

Geisel was interviewed by U.S. Secret Service agent’s in Miami and denied ever making any threats against Obama or Bush, however he did state, “that if he wanted to kill Senator Obama he simply would shoot him with a sniper rifle, but then claimed that he was just joking.”

Miami police searched Geisel’s car and hotel room and found a cache of ammunition, that included armour piercing bullets and a handgun. Although, the police did not state whether or not Geisel was preparing for an actual assassination attempt. Geisel is being held at Miami’s downtown detention center without bail.
