Well, his attorney could probably make a case for the fact that Obama wasn’t there at the time, therefore this guy had no intention of really assassinating him - assuming they can prove he didn’t know Obama wasn’t there.
I wonder if the alleged assassin is an American citizen and why he wanted to shoot Obama?
He was just shooting at the Presidents, Americans won’t shoot at.
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.
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.
