FBI: Letter to Obama tests positive for ricin

A letter addressed to President Obama containing what the Secret Service calls "a suspicious substance" was intercepted Tuesday at a mail screening facility, the agency said Wednesday. The FBI has since said that it preliminary tested positive for ricin.

[freekitty]

Did he arrange to have it sent himself?

[Westbrook]

Ricin screening often yields false positives.

However, given that there seems to be a lot of this going around, and given that it does not seem to be constrained to a particular party, and given the belligerent rhetoric out of NoKo, I’m starting to wonder if this isn’t something they and their fellow travellers cooked up.

Probably mixed up with his daily cocaine delivery.....

[halfright]

OH MY GOD! PLEASE NO>>> I do not want Joe Biden in control of ANYTHING!

[V_TWIN]

That was my first thought. I wouldnt put anything past the scum in the WH.

[mardi59]

Of course it tested positive. How dare they leave the attention whore out of the mix. It wouldn’t be a right wing conspiracy if he didn’t get one.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Its prolly a miracle they got to it before Ostumbles snorted it. :-)

[presently no screen name]

Geez, it’s not like he opens his own mail but some lowly worker. So, it was them who was in jeopardy not ‘the boy’.

[presently no screen name]

Ricin

Is that the new word for anthrax? Wasn't that the poison of choice for letter writers back a few years?

[BilLies]

Sent from Ayers’ private stock?

[freekitty]

Me either. They are definitely creating chaos.

[freekitty]

Probably.

I smell a diversion. Look over here while switch “suspects” from a Saudi to a “white American”.

Endless FReepathons
Do you Know Why?

There are loyal posters that donate every FReepathon. Some donate several times during every 'thon. But others never donate. Why?

1 My enemies haven't been zotted.
2 The owner doesn't support my candidate.
3 FR won't "upgrade" to "Like" buttons and blinky crap.
4 Someone else will donate.
5 My friend was zotted.
6 I lost my job and have no income.

Only one of those is a legitimate reason.

Come on people. This is serious. I despise the president but cut the DU nonsense. There’s no conspiracy by gov or Uhbama. It’s not nice it happened, either.

[mrsmel]

How dare they leave the attention whore out of the mix. It wouldn’t be a right wing conspiracy if he didn’t get one.

Exactly.

[palmer]

Rice ‘n fried chicken, ain’t nothing wrong with that.
