Professionals estimated the Washington DC national Tea Party rally had over 1.3 million people - the pres. brushed it off and put out a story that there were only 300,000 (it takes more than 300,000 to fill the national mall till people can't move like they did). I'm not going to say whether or not I agree with what the protesters were saying - but the pres. should not have ignored it like he did.
There will always be someone who wants to kill the President. There is nothing a President can do, including doing nothing, that would keep him safe from every nut that is out there.

Regardless of what or who the president ignores there is no justification for death threats.
