WTF? the guy in SC who wanted to kill Obama was a Democrat
who thinks Obama isn't doing enough for African Americans?

Crazy White Man Wanted To Kill Obama Cause He Ain't Doing Enough For Black People

An elderly US veteran who kept loaded guns at his bedside has been arrested for threatening to kill President Barack Obama in a murder-suicide, officials said Friday.

Michael Bowden, from the southern state of South Carolina, told a nurse during a visit to a veterans' clinic that he "would like to shoot the president, then myself," according to a criminal complaint.

Bowden said he was "thinking of traveling to Washington, DC, to shoot the president because he is not doing enough to help African Americans," said a criminal complaint filed in a South Carolina court.

3. To quote the fictional President Merkin Muffly, "There's nothing to figure out...."
"The man is obviously a psychotic."

6. It has nothing to do with helping African Americans. It's racism.



What do we learn from this map? We learn that Democrats in places like TN and AR just couldn't bring themselves to vote for a black man so they switched and voted Repub.


This guy is probably the same sort of person.

10. That was known the first time this story was posted.
It required reading the article though.
