It's only the second time ever that HIV-infected blood has been sent with malicious intent through the U.S. mail system, a spokesman for the U.S. Postal Inspection Service said.
In the weeks leading up to Obama's inauguration, Saad Hussein, an Ethiopian refugee in his late 20's, sent an envelope addressed to "Barack Obama" to offices of the Illinois government in Springfield, Ill., according to court documents. The envelope contained a series of unusual items, including a letter with reddish stains and an admission ticket for Obama's election-night celebration in Chicago's Grant Park. Court documents said Hussein, who takes drugs to treat a mental illness, later told FBI agents he is "very sick with HIV" and cut his fingers with a razor so he could bleed on the letter.

If the media is to be believed you can’t become infected with HIV from blood stained paper.
It’s important to practice safe sex. I hope our President knows that.
Ditto that. We pray for his physical safety, his conversion to Jesus Christ, and his spectacular failure in the harmful things he means to do.
Sure he does. If you don't, you might get punished with a disease or a child or something.
We better ask Larry....
I wonder if the MSM will include this guy’s ethnicity. You know, omit that detail so the mouth breathers figure it’s Rush Limbaugh who did it....
I remember hearing on TV a few years ago, some yo-yo talking about MLK—mentioning that in the bad ol’ days, King had actually been stabbed, and nearly died, back in the 1950s.
Which was true-it happened in 1957 in NYC—they didn’t mention that a black woman was the stabber.
I wouldn't say that's true. That's why it's a Federal offense to send bloodborne pathogens through the US mail.
I think the media would say that you couldn't catch HIV from "sweat" soaked paper or clothes.
No need for this. All The Messiah has to do is touch the man’s cloak, and he will be healed of HIV.
The guy has scarcely been in office for 38 days, and already has had more threats reported than the previous two presidents.
The guy's name is Hussein. Does that tell us anything?
GITMO him.
The pig shouldn’t be here. He’s an AIDS infected Islamic terrorist, who displayed intentions of harming the President of the United States. He should be treated as an emeny combatent, not a common criminal.
If this guy was Christian foreigner, he’d be treated like a terrorist.
What will President Muslim do? He’s the one who wants to treat these pigs like common bank robbers. Wonder what he’ll do now that one wants to kill him?
Once again we see the Get Out Of Jail Free card. I've lost track of how many jihadis are reported to be on or off their medication. A few come to mind immediately of course: the LAX ticket-counter guy, some Jewish-center murder, and the SF/Oakland we'll-come-to-you crazy driver.
I've long thought that normal jihadi behavior is pretty much de facto proof of multiple mental disorders, but over there it's encouraged and over here it's treated.
Respect his culture by denying him an insanity defense.
I was pretty sure they say the virus does not live long outside the human body. Of course we are taught to be very careful of anyone else’s blood. I’ll have to google and see.
You had to disclose mental and physical diseases, injuries, disabilities and the like down to a mole on your neck.....or you didn't get in.
Of course, many fibbed to get in, but at least the answers were on engraved on the form for any subsequent needs of U.S. health, law enforcement or other agencies.
My grandpa declared a limp from being kicked by a bakery-wagon horse and the resultant broken leg being improperly set by a small-hamlet doctor.
I bet this Ethiopian guy was let into this country/Chicago by virtue of being able to spell "welfare" and "Daley" correctly and nothing more.

What would THAT ONE do? He’ll blame Bush or white conservative males....
Scientists and medical authorities agree that HIV does not survive well in the environment, making the possibility of environmental transmission remote. HIV is found in varying concentrations or amounts in blood, semen, vaginal fluid, breast milk, saliva, and tears. (See below, Saliva, Tears, and Sweat.) In order to obtain data on the survival of HIV, laboratory studies have required the use of artificially high concentrations of laboratory-grown virus. Although these unnatural concentrations of HIV can be kept alive under precisely controlled and limited laboratory conditions, CDC studies have showned that drying of even these high concentrations of HIV reduces the number of infectious viruses by 90 to 99 percent within several hours. Since the HIV concentrations used in laboratory studies are much higher than those actually found in blood or other specimens, drying of HIV- infected human blood or other body fluids reduces the theoretical risk of environmental transmission to that which has been observed--essentially zero.

I'm still not touching anyone's blood tho.
Yes, on that you are completely correct. I think as virus's go, HIV isn't very hearty outside the human body. So, dried blood perhaps wouldn't be too dangerous. But, I certainly wouldn't want to put it to the test.
Speaking of HIV, where’s The President’s old boyfriend Larry Sinclair these days?
