RALEIGH, N.C. — Federal prosecutors have charged a former Marine based at Camp Lejeune with threatening President Barack Obama before he took office.

A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s office in Raleigh said Thursday a federal grand jury has returned an indictment against Kody Brittingham, 20. He is charged with making threats against the president-elect.

The indictment was handed up Wednesday.

Brittingham was administratively separated from the Marine Corps on Jan. 3, following a December arrest on state charges he attempted armed robbery of a Jacksonville hotel. He remains jailed in Onslow County.

The Marine Corps says Brittingham was a lance corporal who joined the Marine Corps in July 2007. He never deployed with the Marines.

Make sure he's in jail through the 2012 election.

I don't want him voting in 2012.

2. If he's a felon in Florida, he'll never vote again.

The FL. repukes decision to strip voting rights from all felons should apply to this worthless scrub.
