(CNN) -- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, a U.S. senator from Illinois, has been placed under the protection of the Secret Service, the agency said Thursday.
The government is not aware of any specific, credible threat against Obama, according to a law enforcement source familiar with the decision. But the campaign has received hate mail, calls and other "threatening materials" in the past and during his campaign, the source said.

Another sign that the man is becoming big time: drawing the hate and death threats. You can feel the love.
Incidentally, it is noted that since Hillary is a former First Lady, she is already under Secret Service protection. So, it continues to be a neck and neck race.
