Just in: Breaking News. (from twitter feed) From CNN
Eta: not clear if it was ricin, it was laced with suspicious substance
It wouldn't surprise me if it was some kind of biological weapon against the President. President Obama has received so many threats. It is sad that someone would want to assassinate the President, but it doesn't surprise me. It has happened before, and with the level of hatred towards President Obama being so high, it leaves alot to think about.
Just look at some of the posts here on City Data, saying things such as anybody who votes for the bill, including Obama and Biden, should be lined up against a wall.
Since one letter was sent to Wicker (R), and the other to Obama (D), then you would think they were sent by someone who has something against both. Why would a right winger send ricin to Wicker? Why would a left winger send one to Obama? To me it sounds like a lone wolf person with mental issues, and no political agenda.
And new reports that Carl Levin (D-Michigan) and Richard Shelby (R-Alabama) also received suspicious letters today. I saw that Shelby's office had been evacuated. I'm guessing they did the same with Levin's office.
Wicker voted in favor for the gun bill to open up for debate. Many of the far right wing gun nutcases viewed every person, especially those with an (R) next to their name that voted in favor, to traitors that are coming to take their guns.
Also considering the senator is from glowing red mississippi, who knows,...
I wondered why Wicker and Obama would both be a target--I didn't know Wicker had voted to put the gun bill up for a vote. Interesting... Does anyone know how Shelby voted?

Shelby also opposed the filibuster. I think we have a pattern here.

I hate to kill the party, but Shelby voted against the gun bill debate.

Reports from Shelby's office is that there is a "suspicious package", not ricin letters like obama and wicker received.
