threatening the life of President Barack Obama was sentenced Monday by a federal judge to 33 months in prison.Johnny Logan Spencer apologized for writing the poem, which depicts a fatal sniper shooting of the president. Spencer, 28, said he was upset at the time over the death of his mother and had fallen in with a white supremacist group.
"These groups were just a way for me to cope," Spencer said Monday in federal court in Louisville. "I took things they said a little too far." Spencer said the group helped him kick his drug habit.
