Astronomy Buff Threatens to Kill Obama

The Secret Service is on the hunt for a Utah man who they believe may be a danger to President Obama. Withdrawing $13,000 from his bank account recently, the man, Daniel James Murray, engaged in some peculiar chitchat with a likely freaked-out teller. “We are 94 million miles from the sun and are in between the sun and moon and the eagle that flies between them, and it’s a giant step for mankind,” he rambled before making a subtle, veiled threat against Obama: “We are on a mission to kill the president of the United States.” His whereabouts are currently unknown, but, thankfully, he doesn’t seem very good at keeping things to himself.
