They seem to be slightly downplaying the mental illness aspect of this.

I know I'm cynical, but I see a subtle message here: The folks who don't like Obama are a bizarre and violent bunch. Don't be a hater! Vote Democrat!

An honest, non-sensational headline would have been “Mentally Ill Man Kills Family.” But no, in order to sell papers, they had to lead with the “conservative hates Obama so much he kills his family” angle. These papers should be ashamed of themselves.

If Obama wins, people will start pushing for a revolution. Things can’t go on this way. Of course, I don’t think Obama is going to win. I think he’s going to lose in a landslide.

First, horrible story — we should pray for this family. Second — and I'm not being cute here — when the USA press carries this story, the angle will be that Republican hatemongers baited this man into killing his family and himself.

Shouldn’t Obama and some Cabinet official go on a two week long tour condemning the media and polls for saying Obama is leading and a sure-thing? /sarcasm

...A neighbor of the family told 9News’s Peggy Fox that Albert Peterson was a conspiracy theorist...

...According to WNEW, neighbor Alvaro Lopes, says Albert Peterson suffered a heart attack several years ago, and Lopes believes the medication the man was taking changed his personality.

“He seemed dizzy... just different,” Lopes said. “Hearing about what happened today made me think that could have something to do with it.”

Lopes also claims the man’s father previously committed suicide.

The family recently completed building a deck and showed no outward signs of trouble.

Peggy Fox reports that at about 3 p.m. police removed the crime scene tape and packed up what was left of the crime scene. The family cars - Albert Peterson’s large Ford 350 pickup truck, and Kathie Peterson’s minivan- are still parked at the home...

If fear of Obama winning was his true problem, he would not have done this before the election, and he would have been stockpiling food, guns, and ammo etc. to be prepared to survive another 4 years of Barry Boy.

His mental illness was the cause, and if not focused on Obama’s election he would have focused on something else.

Neighbor Jeremy Wilcox told local news radio station WTOP that the family had attended a community picnic together on Sunday and “showed no signs of any problem.”

Another neighbor, Alvaro Lopes, told local news station WNEW that Albert Peterson had tried to commit suicide in the past, and that he had been taking new heart attack medication that seemed to affect his personality.

“He seemed dizzy, just different,” Lopes said. “Hearing about what happened today made me think that could have something to do with it.”

Police would not comment on any possible connection between the deaths and Peterson’s medication.

Because there is mercy in the universe, I am not entrusted to be a mental health professional. With a mind uncluttered by the facts or any relevant experience, let me observe that there were probably dozens of demons haunting this poor soul. That they affected his fine family, as well, so tragically magnifies the pain unbearably. It’s not a story about Obama.

zer0’s fault. Why didn’t this loser just take his own life? Or at least wait until the election was over. Damn media killed another citizen.

From what I read between the lines, it seems things may not have been all that wonderful between him and the wife.

They met (30? yrs ago) and both loved exercise/health yada yada. He started to suffer depression and with that, gained weight. His wife was cute, a professional and seemed to be getting annoyed with his not being active enough.

They had recently attended a Romney event but he didn’t get to see it. He dropped his family and neighbor and had to park far away and supposedly his knees couldn’t handle the walk to get to it.

He was mentally ill, a family history of mental illness/suicides, troubles with his wife, defense contractors are supposed to be laying off...he had much more going on than Obama.

Congratulations, Mainstream Media. Your “Operation: Demoralize” just yielded its’ first casualties. . .

Sad thing to happen but I would research their background first before I start calling sides. Don’t forget the MOOSElim in the White House said it was the movie not al-Queda that killed four Americans.
