In 2009, Pres Obama was receiving 30 death threats per day.

The new dynamics of protecting a president: Most threats against Obama issued online

“Since Obama took office, at least 65 people have been indicted on charges of threatening to harm him. In January, Daniel L. Temple, who had tweeted “im coming to kill you” and “so I gotta kill barack obama first,” was sentenced to 16 months in prison after pleading guilty.

“Nicholas Savino was sentenced in March to a year in prison for posting this on the White House Web site in August 2013: “President Obama the Anti-Christ, As a result of breaking the constitution you will stand down or be shot dead.”

“Police, who arrested Savino a few days after he posted the statement, found three guns and about 11,000 rounds of ammunition in his apartment and car.” More

I’m not so sure today’s threats are necessarily more related to govt overreach, as the article says. As it is, according to the article, he’s still received significantly more threats than any of is predecessors.
