I post on this board all the time about how I disagree with Bush's Iraq policy, I talk about it with my friends at school and work. That doesn't make me a threat to the president's safety, and this kid is no more of a threat than I am.
You argue against the policy. This kid drew artwork depicting the killing and mutilation of a president along with terrorist sympathetic undertones. That's enough of a red flag to me that it should be investigated.
