Steven Joseph Christopher, in three postings to
, said he planned to assassinate Obama in Washington "as a sacrificial lamb", the department said in a statement.
"It's really nothing personal about the man. He speaks well... But I know it's for the country's own good that I do this," Christopher reportedly wrote.
"It's not because I'm racist that I will kill Barack, it's because I can no longer allow the Jewish parasites to bully their way into making the American people submit to their evil ways."
Christopher added that he needed money to get to Washington and that he did not own a gun.
Unprecedented security surrounds Obama, who will be sworn into office on Tuesday and become the nation's first black president.
Christopher could face up to five years in prison and a $250,000 (Rs 1.2 crore) fine if found guilty.
