Sgt. Matthew Neu and Threat Against the President

A Sergeant in Florida has been suspended and is now being investigated, for what some think was a threat against the president, in the form of a prayer.

The corrections officer, Sgt. Matthew Neu, was suspended by the sheriff's office after he gave a co-worker a highlighted psalm from the Bible, that has apparently become known to some as "The Obama Prayer."

The note allegedly highlighted two verses, "Let his days be few, and let another take his office." and "May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow," which his co-worker took as evidence that Sgt. Neu wishes the President were dead. Certainly a frightening message to be sending, for a presidency that has stirred up so many fears that an assassination attempt could take place.

A Manatee County corrections officer has been suspended without pay over an incident involving a Bible and a perceived threat against President Obama. Corrections Sgt. Matthew Neu was suspended for 25.8 hours for conduct unbecoming of a deputy or employee, a Manatee County Sheriff's Office report said. Neu circled a verse from Psalms that has been called the "Obama Prayer" that he found on the Internet and left the Bible on the desk of another corrections sergeant, Martha Nash, the report said. Nash found the marked Bible and a handwritten note that said "The Obama Prayer" on her desk when she came to work at the Manatee County Jail on Sept. 29.
