I find it ironic how this guy's name suggests that he might be in America illegally.

The guy was more of a danger to the general public than to Obama. The President was out of town and this genius was taking potshots at the White House from 600 yards away with an assault rifle.

Have to agree with your premise.

Would definitely be a bigger deal if Obama tried to take this guy out. :yes:

Early reporting mentioned he has been attending the OWS-DC events.

Seems thats not being mentioned any more (and I don't see it in this article).

But he has a Hispanic last name, long hair, and a beard. Not the stereotypical Obama hater.

Because the lamestream media got it wrong. They jumped to a conclusion because of proximity.

I approve of around 55-60% of what Obama's done as president, which is more than the average American.

I hear ya.

Sorry for being condescending #$%^#%$#.

Sometimes it just annoys the $#!) out of me that we are all in a rush to figure out what happened, why it happened and then declare that we've resolved whatever happened.
