'Death to Obama' sign holder detained

HAGERSTOWN, Md. - The Secret Service is investigating a man who
authorities said held a sign reading "Death to Obama" outside a town-hall
meeting on health-care reform in western Maryland.

The sign also read, "Death to Michelle and her two stupid kids," referring
to the first name of President Barack Obama's wife, said Washington County
Sheriff's Capt. Peter Lazich.

Lazich said deputies detained the unidentified, 51-year-old man near the
entrance to Hagerstown Community College about 1 p.m. Wednesday after
getting calls from a number of people attending the meeting held by Sen.
Ben Cardin, D-Md. Obama was not at the meeting.

The sheriff's office turned the man over to the Secret Service, Lazich said.

Barbara Golden, special agent in charge of the agency's Baltimore field
office, said Thursday that an investigation is ongoing but declined
further comment. A spokesman at the agency's Washington headquarters also
declined to discuss the investigation.

Police said there were no other arrests among the nearly 1,000 people,
some carrying protest signs, who came to the college for the meeting or
demonstrated off-campus.

Cardin's national communications director, Sue Walitsky, called the
incident "unfortunate." She said she was unaware of it until Thursday
morning.
