Another thing to remember, the FBI and Secret Service will err on the side of complete safety for the President. Just saying "oh, I was joking" doesn't mean you'd get off the hook.
"1. I have no criminal record" - They would know this and more, but it doesn't mean you're automatically off the hook.
"2. I don't own any weapons, nor do I have access to bombs" - Weapons can be purchased easily, and bombs are very easily made.
"4. I could be referring to the president of something else." - I remember a joke by Randy Gulman (I think that's his name, the tall Jewish guy from Last Comic Standing 2). "In America we have The Pill. You all know what The Pill is. We have a pill that cures polio, that's not The Pill." Whenever you switch to CNN, Fox News, ABC, MSNBC, when they say "The President" who do you think of? Seeing as though almost every American would say "The President of the United States" the FBI and Secret Service would not really care if you meant to say the president of the Toys 'R Us corperation.
When you start threatening the life of the President, your rights can start disappearing very quickly.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
