11 Attempted Assassinations Against Obama Fact Check

What turned this from a report of shooting in the vicinity to an assassination charge was that evidence accumulated that bullets had been deliberately fired at the White House, at the residential section of the White House, and that they had been fired by someone who his -- once he was identified, his friends in Idaho told investigators he had been fixated on President Obama, he had considered Obama to be the Antichrist, and he had even told some of them that he thought he ought to kill him or hurt him or stop him in some way. And the accumulation of this detail eventually convinced authorities, evidently, that this was a deliberate attempt to kill the president, not something random.

Federal agents said Monday they disrupted a plot hatched by two neo-Nazi skinheads to attempt to kill Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate scores of black people at a Tennessee school.

“Maybe if the guy fired an air gun from 10 miles away [from the White House], that would be more like an impossible attempt.” “If you go into somebody’s bedroom and blast away thinking they’re in bed but they’re not, that would be attempted murder,” said Steven Shavell, a Harvard Law School professor who also has written on “impossible attempts.” He said the alleged attempt on Obama is “indistinguishable” from that scenario although Obama was on the West Coast at the time. Shavell called it a “trick of the mind” to see Obama’s distance from the scene as relevant to the assassination charge.
