US Secret Service agents have arrested a woman accused of threatening to kill Michelle Obama during a family break.

Kristy Lee Roshia was taken into federal custody on Saturday in Honolulu, Hawaii, where the Obamas are due to spend their holidays.

The Secret Service said Ms Roshia made the threats during a call to its Boston office in November.

Agents said she claimed she knew where Mrs Obama and her husband President Barack Obama would be staying.

2. She also attacked a Secret Service agent

[The Stranger]

3. Good work by the authorities. This woman needs help.

[Cha]

4. That's just weird.."I will kill

Michelle Obama" "I will kill all Marines".

Thanks to the Secret Service for taking all threats seriously.

[EFerrari]

5. That's horrible. Good for the SS.

[boppers]

6. Maybe she needed somewhere to go for the Holidays?

Seems fairly weird to call the Secret Service and make direct threats to the very people who can arrest you for making such threats.

7. She may have a thing for Obama, and wants to let him know

People with mental illness will often imagine relationships with those who are famous. Could be something here in the vein of John Hinkley--maybe she thinks if she can get Michelle out of the way Barack will fall into her arms.

8. Barrack has been making those eyes at her and giving her hidden messages..

in his speeches.

[TheDebbieDee]

9. I think that he's been sending this chick messages

by blinking his eyes in Morse Code! ;^)

[WriteDown]

11. People really need to watch his speeches in slomo.

:)

10. Oily Taint

changed her name?

12. Thanks SS for getting this woman off the streets!

Michelle is my FAVORITE Obama family member. Love the POTUS and the girls but Michelle is the backbone behind this great family. If she got close to Michelle or the famil, she would not be able to get a day of peaceful rest, ever.

Good job SS, keep our first family safe!

13. She looks like a freeper. Another one bites the dust. nt.

[emilyg]

15. You mean she's white.

[Thickasabrick]

20. No.....but I guess that's a given. She looks like a soccer mom probably

loves Palin type conservative. Can't you just see her camping overnight at the mall waiting for an autograph?

[Jefferson23]

14. I'm sure there will be more about her to come, freaking lunatic. n/t

[Chemisse]

16. I admire Michelle more and more all the time

And feel it is so unfair that she has to live knowing that there are some people out there who would not only like to see her husband killed, but herself and even her children!

17. Faux News will bear a heavy burden. Not as much as Limbaugh, though.

He has been the King of Hate since the early '90s. His influence has always been derided here, but sentient beings have known of the dangerous hatred he has spawned. Now he runs an entire political party with his insanity. Oh wait, he was the "Majority Maker" as early as 1994. And where are we now, my friends?

[Betsy Ross]

18. She needed the health care available in jail?

For that she might have picked a lesser crime.

[waiting for hope]

19. What a nut job - seriously, these people need

to find another avenue to vent their frustration. Hey, let's ship them off the Af-Pak!

[Solly Mack]

21. She obviously wanted to be arrested

You don't call the SS office and make those remarks without knowing the outcome. Unless she's in need of help...which could easily be the case. Still a danger though....to herself and others.

[Caretha]

22. Mental illness is so sad n/t

[Grassy Knoll]

23. Oh...OK , The whole country and....

the secret service, every cop and world leaders know where she is staying.
How about a billboard next time, whack job.

24. Orly? Orly's sister?

[mahina]

25. Poor thing. Clearly bonkers.

Now get her off my island.
