The Secret Service is reviewing the case of an Internet photo showing a group of armed young men in the Arizona desert standing next to what appears to be a bullet-riddled image of President Obama.
“We’re aware of it, and we’re conducting the appropriate follow-up steps,” said Ed Donovan, a Secret Service spokesman.
Obama visited Arizona on Wednesday and Thursday.
“Individuals certainly have a right to free speech, but we certainly have a right to speak to individuals to see what their intent is,” Donovan said.
The photograph showed seven casually dressed young men, four of whom clutched weapons and one of whom held up a T-shirt covered with small holes and gashes and bearing a likeness of Mr. Obama above the word “HOPE.” The weapons held aloft appeared to be a revolver, a bolt-action rifle and two assault rifles.

As much as I dislike Mr. Obama, I can’t condone any physical harm coming to him. Here in the USA we vote people out, we don’t stoop to the level of third world countries and kill off our leaders for change.
As I said before when the Atlanta Jewish paper carried its editorial, the notion of assassinating the President doesn’t belong anywhere in decent society.
There will be a “lot of attempts” on obama’s life all a fabrication to get more support for him.

They pulled the same shenanagins with Clinton in office. Things not looking good for the president, stage something.
