Okay...Well, first I must say I meant no offense in my comments. If you've taken any, I do apologizeAndyC wrote:The "interesting word combo" was deliberately chosen, not accidental.

I feel differently; there's a very definite, implied threat in those words. If I were on Obama's detail, I wouldn't be laughing at this.) to the POTUS?
You have inferred there to be a threat to the POTUS, but you are connecting the dots in your own mind. If the SS wants to get a clarification on the context, so be it - should be a brief inquiry..
The "very definite, implied threat" was an interesting word combo because I read that to mean the implied threat was basically incontestable, indisputable, etc. - almost akin to an explicit threat. However, you've inferred a different meaning (and maybe directed a slight dig), by saying a "casual reader" may see your word choice as accidental...
I noticed you didn't answer the question I posed - What is the very definite, implied threat to the POTUS? You may run scenarios through your mind in order to get to such a potential direct threat, but his words aren't enough. That's why I also stated that if the service wanted to get clarification on context so be it - and apparently it was a brief inquiry and Nugent was cleared.
