This has been going on since the days of George f[inks]ing Washington. Quit being crybabies and get over it. It was funny; you act like these people want to kill the man, who by the way, has not been the target of any serious or even close to serious assassinations attempts, unlike the last four Presidents before hi.

Uh, about that...

Also, the level of bigotry and rude behavior against Obama is more than Bush ever got.
So, let me get this straight-two drunken idiots trying to build a "death ray" is just as serious or more serious, than say, a man in Tbilisi, Georgia throwing a live hand grenade at President Bush? Or more serious than a man flying a small Cessna plane into the White House lawn to kill Bill Clinton? Or Iraqi agents placing a car bomb at an event in Kuwait where George H.W. Bush was speaking? Or a madman shooting Ronald Reagan to impress Jody Foster? None of the threats on that Wikipedia article were serious, and no real attempt on Obama’s life has been made. Trust me, I have been to Tea Party rallies. A lot of people there are older, and are scared by the Kennedy assassination. They hate Obama’s guts, but can’t fathom his assassination. And if the more “redneck” elements of the Tea Party who really, really hate the guy are so “dangerous”, why hasn’t one of them taken a shot of at him?

Yea on opposite day.
Obama has been the receiver of a lot of racial hatred, which is to be expected since he is the first Black President. But on a general scale, he is much more liked and respected than George Bush ever was, or Bill Clinton for that matter.

attempted  to impeach him in 2007 (which has never happened to Obama),

Uh ... false?  Like I'm sure Kucinich or some other loon might have put in a bill, but there was absolutely no real movement among Democrats to try to impeach Bush.  On the other hand, half of the Tea Party representatives have openly tossed around the idea of impeaching Obama.

Dennis Kucinich and Robert Wexler introduced articles of impeachment against Bush, which no Tea Party representatives have yet done. And don't tell me elected officials didn't openly toss about the idea of impeaching Bush: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_of_George_W._Bush#Political_views_and_actions

In the sense that Kucinich was an elected official, you are correct.  But you're blind if you think the "movement" to impeach Bush was bigger than the "movement" to impeach Obama.  Most Tea Party congressmen will openly discuss it, even if they aren't allowed to bring forth bills to do it.

Read the article, bro. You had Democrats in positions of leadership -- including the House Minority Leader, Pelosi herself -- saying impeachment was "on the table." Today, you have just some random TP backbenchers, most of which were elected in the past few elections and have little influence. Now, that said, Obama's still in his fifth year of office (at this stage in Bush's presidency, literally nobody was calling for impeachment yet), so perhaps the movement will get bigger. But it's absolutely undeniable, just by looking at the facts, that the movement to impeach Bush was far more serious than the one that currently exists against Obama.

Are you trolling?  Pelosi's phrase, in that Wikipedia page and everywhere else, was that impeachment was "off the table."  I honestly can't believe you simply made an error when you typed the she said it was "on the table."

Practically every Tea Party member of Congress hints at impeachment when they go home to Town Halls or when they appear on TV.  I don't know how you could miss that...
To be fair, just about every President is threatened with impeachment by some backbencher from the opposite party. Its not worth even comparing. Bush had Kucinich, Obama had Walter Jones. It goes on and on, whether the said President actually deserves impeachment or not.
