From what I can gather, the gun was a Romanian Dragunov PSL chambered in 7.62 x 54.. which, could have an effective range just outside of 800 yards.
So it was “possible” with that gun, that round and practice to hit the WH from that distance.

Not so much with the “AK47” they said he used a few days ago.

Charged with attempting to assassinate President Obama even though he was not there.

"Innocent by reason of insanity" is a possibility.

NOTE: There is one report that this alleged incident is a rigged event: Obama's "Gulf of Tonkin" so he can get re-election sympathy.

"Regardless of the occupant, we can’t have people taking pot shots at the White House."

You state the obvious. Why make it sound like we have allowed that in the past?

Actually I doubt he’s a kook...

Think of it this way....you’re the first half-black truly communist president, your poll numbers are in the toilet because you suck, and you’re still not through wrecking the country in preparation for your coming socialist worker’s paradise...

So, since you’re already a Standard Liberal Protected Victim Class, Model 101 (Halfrican-American), what better way to drum up sympathy than to stage an “event” - which has the DOUBLE BONUS of the Day (!!!!!!!!) of making you a Standard Liberal Protected Victim Class Model 102 (Halfrican-American AND a victim of an Evil White Racist Conspiracy), AND giving you another excuse to push your gun control agenda...

‘Cept...this guy isn’t white...he’s a Standard Liberal Protected Victim Class Model 110 (Angry Young Hispanic, Aggrieved, with Mustache and Beard)..

Oh dear...what to do now...?

He should be put away for life. How the heck was he even able to achieve this? I know security is not as strong when President is not in White House. Still he was able to shoot a window.

What I find interesting is that this guy took shots at the White House, and the MSM has reported almost nothing about him. All we know is that he has committed a few crimes in several states and others have questioned if he is mentally ill.

By this time in the "Joe the Plumber" affair, we knew pretty much his entire life.

That makes me think there's more to this guy's history than the MSM wants us to know.

From The Ulsterman Report.

From Ulterman: A staged threat?

“BULLET HITS WHITE HOUSE”

All major media outlets are now reporting on an apparent attack directed at the Obama White House. A high powered assault rifle is believed to have been used. At present the primary suspect is Oscar Ortega-Hernandez. MSNBC this morning took significant time in their reporting to indicate Ortega-Hernandez has a prominent “Israel” tatoo upon his neck.

Initial reports are indicating that a suspect or suspects fired at the White House, then left a gun on the ground while fleeing the scene. No reason has yet been given why the perpetrators of the shooting would leave a large assault rifle at the scene that would make it far easier for authorities to implicate them in the crime.

It is interesting to note that as soon as the story broke earlier this morning, comments poured in sympathetic to President Barack Obama – almost as if a group was at the ready prepared to manufacture those comments when given the order.

Let us now go to the words of Insider, spoken nearly one month ago, on the possibility of just such a scenario:

Insider: We have the first so-called Black president, right? What would be the extreme of the race-based re-election plan I told you about? The ace in the sleeve for this kind of program? Something that would make White America recoil at the thought of voting against this president? Make them feel just so very bad for this poor little doing the best he can it’s Bush’s fault president of ours?

Ulsterman: Riots? Race Riots? Insider: No…that card will be played out sooner. And it’s too broad. They would need something much more…specific to Obama. The ultimate in a sympathy vote. And it’s been talked about. I assure you of that. These people are laying out every conceivable possibility to remain in power. Gettin’ real serious now…

Ulsterman: I don’t know.

Insider: All the ingredients are in place. Falling approval ratings. A big uptick in divisive racial talk…the GOP primary race gettin’ on, which has upped the anti-Obama rhetoric. Occupy Wall Street stuff. An aborted terrorist attack in America. The president crisscrossing the country talking the same old sh-t, except playing the victim card even more than before…don’t tell me for a second some of this isn’t all being played out for a very specific possibility. If needed, they will try and pull it off. I got no doubt about it now. None.

Ulsterman: So what is it? Pull what off?

Insider: A manufactured threat against the President of the United States. Something easily digested by the media and the American public. Not a real threat – something totally of their own making. They will use it if they need to – got no doubt whatsoever about that. Jarrett has approved the idea…and did so a long time ago. There were whispers of it during the 2008 campaign. McCain was so god-awful it never reached a serious consideration…but the plan was discussed. If needed – they were willing to go that route. It would be the ultimate use of the race card in the history of American politics. And…it would likely work if they got away with it.

Ulsterman: They would go that far? Risk something like that?

Insider: You don’t need to ask that question. Not after what we’ve discussed this past year. Not after what I’ve told you has proven out over and over again. So stop asking the fu—ing question. You need to accept the fact…if you haven’t done so yet – you need to accept the fact these people are playing for keeps. I told you – how many times? How many times have I said it? These are not Democrats. These folks are something else entirely. And they are willing to push the country – all of us, right against the fu—ing wall. Hard.

“What I find interesting is that this guy took shots at the White House, and the MSM has reported almost nothing about him.”

I’ve said for 4 YEARS it wouldn’t be one of ours that takes a shot at Obama, but one of HIS OWN disillusioned liberal nutjobs.

I hate always being right about this crap.

You don’t think the non-Fox, gay-run major media in America is actually going to tell the truth about that, do you?

He was angry at Obama and his policies, like 50% of America, only he was stupid, shot at an empty building, the President was visiting our 57th state, and an AK47 can lose some of its impact at 750 yards.

However, he will probably ask for a “green card” anyway, and get it.

I wonder if this shooter will have standing to see O’bummer’s original birth certificate as a defense being that it was not a possible assassination attempt of a president???...Case dismissed. Using a missile fired from a drone would end any questions about this guy’s intentions.

Probably true. He may be a leftie wacko who is ticked off at Obummer for not being radical enough.
