A man is being held in Florida by federal authorities on charges of threatening to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Raymond Hunter Geisel was ordered held without bail Thursday at a brief court hearing.
The Secret Service says Geisel made the threat during a training class for bail bondsmen in Miami in late July. Another tipster said Geisel also threatened President Bush.
A search of Geisel's SUV and hotel room uncovered a loaded handgun, knives, dozens of rounds of ammunition, body armor and a machete. The SUV was wired with emergency lights.
Geisel told the Secret Service he was originally from Bangor, Maine. He contended he made no threat against either Obama or the president.

Good call, Devil Dog. Something to really think about. You are right. Celebrities always die in threes.
Only two Senators, Harding and Kennedy, were ever elected President. Both died in office. McCain and Obama are Senators, maybe this is an omen? Doesn't death come in three's? Something to think about.
Well, Think about this, The order of succession after the President is, Vice President, and then Speaker of the House. So if the President and Vice are no longer with is that currently leaves us with Nancy Pelosi. See, it only gets worse.
