A 52-year-old man who leapt to his death from a freeway overpass left a note asking for Barack Obama to help his family.
El Paso police Officer Chris Mears said the man, whose name has not been released, jumped from an overpass onto westbound Interstate 10 shortly before 8 a.m. Thursday.
In his car, abandoned nearby, the man left a typewritten note on legal size paper on his dashboard and another attached to a rear window.
Both were one-line notes asking for the Illinois senator and Democratic presidential candidate to help his family, Mears said.
Mears said the notes did not include any details about what kind of help the man wanted or what may have prompted him to jump to his death Thursday morning.

Obama doesn’t even help his own family.

“asking for the Illinois senator and Democratic presidential candidate to help his family”
One problem, BO doesn’t even help his own relatives so why would help help a stranger’s family?
His brother and aunt can rot in the gutter for all he cares.

Rats! When I read the headline I thought maybe he wanted BO to hold his hand...while he jumped!

Asking Hussein for help......Isn’t that jumping to conclusions?

If Obama won't help his brother living in a shack in Africa or his aunt living in a ghetto in Boston and meanwhile has an abysmal record of giving to charity over the past 10 years, then why would this man think that Obama is going to help his family?

Maybe a better plan might have been to stay alive, thereby helping one’s own family. But I guess that’s just me.

Between this guy and yesterday’s flaming moonbat I sense a trend.

I was wondering the same thing and if it will count on November 4, if he did vote for Obama.

Yeah,,, im sure the minute Obama hears about this, he’ll make sure his family is “taken care of”. Is it just me, or is that kinda ominous sounding?

He’ll take another $25 from a rich white guy. I hope that gives comfort to the family.

Fortunately, the fool did not land on a car traveling beneath the overpass.
