He drank the Kool Aid folks...

EL PASO -- A man who jumped 60 feet to his death from the Spaghetti Bowl on Thursday left a note with a message for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama.
A note to "Obama" was found in the man's car, which was parked on the top ramp of the Spaghetti Bowl...

...About 7:45 a.m., police responded to a report that the 52-year-old El Paso man had jumped off the uppermost ramp of the Spaghetti Bowl. His body was found on I-10 west just before the Copia Street exit. His name was not released...

...Police confirmed that the man left behind a note that read, "Obama take care of my family..."

I'm sure his family appreciates you saying so. How about a little compassion, if that is possible.

Why? I don't know the man or his family, or am I now supposed to have "compassion" for every single loser that commits suicide?

In any case,

I am sure that Obama will take care of this man's family just like he takes care of his family in Kenya

You have a sickness, and I hope you get help.

You are definitely a sick, depraved, SOB to use the suicide of someone to score cheap political points...

Why don't you crawl back under the rock you came from...

It could be any number of antisocial behaviors. You can start by reading the book Empathy in Mental Disorders. You can find parts available through google books, though I hope you entrust a professional with your diagnosis.

OKay, stupid thing to do, for a stupid politician, but it's still sad to see a life lost like this. Who knows the real reasons for it though.
