*edit* once again, "they" = school administrators. I understand that the Secret Service has to investigate anything brought to their attention.

well, i'm going to put one fact into consideration:
someone did a demonstration in my town of an effigy of bush with his pants on fire, with signs that said "liar liar pants on fire." it was pretty funny actually, but it did look like bush was completely on fire.
with that said, the secret service didn't investigate them. although from what i've hear about it, these drawings sound simply like a political cartoon and nothing to be feared, i think they should be seen before any comments are made.
