A man wanted in an investigation of shots fired near the White House was arrested Wednesday in the state of Pennsylvania, a day after agents discovered two bullets had struck the executive mansion while President Barack Obama was away, the U.S. Secret Service said.
The Secret Service said it discovered Tuesday that the two bullets had hit the White House, one of them apparently cracking a window on the level of the president's living quarters, while Obama and his wife Michelle were on a trip to California and Hawaii.
The discovery of bullet holes followed reports of gunfire near the White House on Friday night. An assault rifle and an abandoned vehicle were found Friday, which led authorities to disclose they had linked Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez to the reported gunfire.

Didn’t the shots come from an OWS encampment in Lafayette Park?
“White House gun suspect said to hate Obama”
Well, that takes away his insanity defense...
Um, what was their first clue?
If somebody really, truly wanted to mount a killing assault on the White House and didn't care about any personal risk or reprisal, it looks like it wouldn't really be all that hard. I'd hope they have bulletproof glass in there, but still, it doesn't look quite like a teller cage does it? I'm thinking of our Jihad pals, in particular.
That description is very broad. Lots of people hate Obama. I hate Obama. But like almost all people I am sane and law-abiding.
They’re going to have to narrow it down a little.
“...gun suspect said to hate Obama...”

Hell, that could be nearly anybody.
>”White House gun suspect said to hate Obama’’< A man after my own heart.
My favorite comment from the article:
“Maybe he just hates Windows.”
