Suicider leaves note asking The Messiah to help survivors
2008-10-31
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.

#4  I'd say he didn't jump; he was pushed. Axelrod was there and this was him trying out "Auto-turfing"

#3  The Obama campaign is making urgent inquiries to make sure he had already voted.

No problem - ACORN will make sure he can vote even if he's dead. Failing that I'm sure Bambi will resurrect him so he can vote.

#2  This guy apparently wasn't aware of how well (not) BHO takes care of his own family, let alone some strangers.
