Federal agents ANNOUNCED today that two neo-Nazi skinheads have been arrested for plotting an attack on Barack Obama as the capstone of a plan to kill 88 black people.

Authorities quoted the suspects as saying they expected their attempt on Obama’s life to fail, “but that they would get killed trying.”
