At last report, Obama averages 30+ potential threats on his life per day. Every single one of them is investigated to some extent by the Secret Service, especially when Obama will be traveling to that area.
This is no different than how it was under the Bush administration or under Clinton. Every possible or vague threat is taken seriously. I recall a case under Bush were a shop owner had a sign that said "Down with Bush" and he was paid a personal visit by the SS.
The Republican's have no issues invading town hall meeting merely to disrupt the meeting, you don't think some Democrat that disagreed with him would think twice about putting a damper on his day just by making a phone call? I'm sure 10's of thousands of people saw his post, it's no big work to make a quick phone call. The sh!t-storm runs both ways.
