Idaho Man Charged With Trying to Assassinate Obama

An Idaho man accused of firing an assault rifle at the White House believed he was Jesus and thought President Barack Obama was the Antichrist, according to court documents and those who knew him. At one point, he even suggested to an acquaintance the president was planning to implant computer tracking chips into children.

Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, 21, was charged Thursday with attempting to assassinate the president or his staff. He is accused of firing nine rounds at the White House last Friday night — one of them cracking a window of the first family's living quarters — when Obama and the first lady were away. If convicted, Ortega faces up to life in prison.

Ortega was arrested Wednesday at a western Pennsylvania hotel when a desk clerk there recognized him and called police.

Ortega's public defender, Christopher Brown, declined comment after his first court hearing in Pennsylvania. Ortega's mother has said he has no history of mental illness, though when authorities were looking for him, they reported he had "mental health issues."

2. those thoughts are normal for a large percentage of Republicans...

I think the insanity plea will be hard to prove.

4. hope your not saying I'm a repub

what I was saying is it will be the defense of his attorney's.

I have no doubt he and members of his mega church beleive this.

8. I have one work related fellow who sends me emails regularly that

Obama is the antichrist.

Not a fellow employee so it took an act of Congress to get it to stop.

5. Shouldn't ALL the windows in the White House be Bullet-proof?

His bullets cracked a window in the living quarters?

Seriously, it's not like we don't know there are nuts like this out there. Make the First Family safe. I don't care if they are Dems or GOP. Make sure they are safe from these whack jobs.

7. They are ... as I understand it ... there are outer windows, which are basic windows ...

which look nice ... and then there are also inner windows, which are bullet proof.

At least that's what I recall reading some time ago.

13. That's OK. I'm the Romans and I'm here to maintain order.

14. Geez, could be life imprisonment if convicted.

Hope his public defender goes above and beyond for this man, especially if he has mental health issues.
