Well, it turns out it IS a movie plot. The movie, according to this news story is the 1992 Kevin Costner/Whitney Houston film "The Bodyguard".
The guys talked about killing Obama and how they would do it and were picked up with "two rifles, ammunition, bulletproof vests, walkie-talkies, wigs and fake identifications".
Why no conspiracy to kill Obama charges? Well, the "official" reason is that they weren't competent enough to constitute a real threat. Do you imagine that if they had been Muslim and the target was McCain that the outcome would have been the same? Maybe it's because an investigation and trial could turn out to be embarrassing, or maybe it was simply a political decision.
Well, let's see. The FBI asked for more serious charges but US Attorney Troy Eid said no because he saw no credible threat. On the other hand, according to this story when a guy sent a white powder to a John McCain campaign office (using his real name in the return address) Eid threw the book at him. So why the apparent inconsistency? It turns out that Troy Eid is one of Rove's people place in US Attorney offices to use the justice system as a political lever.
