A very sad story.
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.
Officials offered no further explanation nor interpreted the note's meaning.
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."

This is so sad. I know of people who say "God take care of my family" or a special friend or relative they know, but "Obama take care of my family". Kind of telling regarding the type of campaign Obama is running.

This is a sad story. please dont make it fodder for campaign material. i.e. dont gloat over a tragedy to further your political agenda. Even Jack had more sympathy for the guy.
RIP.

I am not gloating over anything regarding someone feeling so hopeless they end their life. There have been many posts regarding "worshippers of Obama". I am afraid this man took it to heart. This is sad indeed!!!

This man did not commit suicide because he took Obama's words to heart. There obviously where deeper reason's behind his suicide. Putting the blame on Obama is as low as you can go. It is also disgraceful and disrespectful.

I am not putting the blame on Obama...good grief!!! He is expecting Obama to act as his best friend, relative or what have you in that he will take care of them!!! It does not say why he committed suicide. The note just states who he believes will take care of his family. GEEEEZEEEEE

Hello, it is sad, but so telling. Obama is at fault telling everyone to put their hope in him. There was a sad BO worshipper in the ministry forum.People bow-down, like really worship this person. It is all sick, and scary, and every mentally ill person, or not fools themselves about this man. So I am putting the blame on Obama, and not afraid to say it.

Acts 29 didn't say that and you know it. Your post reeks of trolling. He/she stated that in the persons suicide note it asked Obama to take care of his family, which sadly lends credence to the fact that many, many people are sadly putting Obama on a god-like plane. This is a double tragedy. Very sad.

Double tragedy.
Well said.
Does anyone know who this man or his family are? Hopefully the body of Christ will reach out to them in their time of grief and offer some real comfort. That's a good prayer.

Maybe I was wrong in my interpretation of Acts post, but that's how I interpreted it. I am no troll either and am I getting pretty sick of people always wanting to label other people on this forum. Enough is enough!!! 
You have 257 posts in 3 weeks, many of which have been hostile towards Conservative Christians, on a Christian forum no less, so that's why I threw out the "t" word.
Are not your last 2 posts to me "hostile"? If you consider my posts "hostile", just what do you consider the "Conservative Christians" posts? Some of their posts are much worse than any of mine. It's not like all of their posts are dripping sweet with honey either. Did you bother to check the number of posts of all them have made? No, of course not, right. If my posts seem"hostile", it's usually because I'm responding to a post that is hostile to my views. It seems if you don't agree some people they have to "label" you or worse, they question your salvation . It's a two-way street and there is a "double-standard" in this forum. I also wasn't aware this was a "Consevative Christian only" forum. If you judge people by the number of posts they make in a certain amount of time, that's a very erroneous way of judging people. Some posters might be more outspoken than others or they might have more time to post things, thus explaining the higher number of posts. I haven't been just posting in this forum, I've posted a bit in other forums too. The people I wonder about are the posters who say very little about themselves in their profile. I can't but help imagine what they have to hide.

Yeah - Obama will take care of this mans family - just like he's taking care of his aunt who lives in the slums of Boston - and is here illegally BTW. And he'll take care of this mans family just like he's helping his half brother who lives in a tin roofed hut in Kenya. On the other hand, 2 of the condos owned by the McCains have elderly aunts living in them - RENT FREE - compliments of Cindy and John!
It's funny that with all the $$ that both Obama and Biden make and the pittance that they give for charitable contributions. My husband makes MUCH less than they do and we give more than our 10% tithe to church and charities, and it is much more than what the 2 of them give together! But we are called unpatriotic and selfish for not wanting to pay more in taxes.
Yep - Hubby is a Marine and 2 sons are Marines - but we are unpatriotic!!
Semper Fi - too bad Obama/Biden don't know what that means.

But what if McCain happens to win?

The snide remark of "king of telling regarding the type of campaign obama is running" was not necessary and fodder for your gloating.

oh brother!!!!!! your going to blame obama when you know each candidate had mentally ill people working for them, doing all kinds of things... I wont mention cases but you've seen them on the news.
What ever happened to PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY?????????
you really are no doctor or mental health care professional of his to have sat down with that person who killed himself to be able to see WHAT was the issue.
I tell ya, you are so wrong. The man killed HIMSELF,, he has to face God with his own sin and choice in the matter. God is not going to on that man's judgment day give him a pass because obama allegedly killed him.. No, he is going to stand before God on his own actions and choices.
Are you sure you know your bible? coz nowhere in the bible would this be true according to your way of thinking. SHOW ME WHERE IN THE BIBLE YOUR OPINION IS SCRIPTURAL!!!!!

Maybe it is because of blogs such as this one that gave the man the belief that Obama would take care of his family. It is not political fodder it is the way this man viewed Obama.

Obama didn't endorse that blog. If this blog was this man's take on Obama it had nothing to do with Obama himself. He's not calling himself a Messiah and on this forum the only people who refer to him as Messiah are only the people against him.

I do not wnat to hear it. How well do you know you Bible, you seem to agree with very unbiblical principals.

Some of you here are very sick. This man killed himself and was most obviously a troubled man to do this. Instead of showing compassion and a show of lost for the situation despite the note, you all belittle the man's death over this craziness about him really believing Obama will do something for his family.

Campe, nobody said 0bama endorsed it. It is simply a collection of all of the moronic examples of people who think 0bama is the transformational messiah savior.
Maybe the guy who killed himself had bought into the hype and believed 0bama to be a spiritual light-worker, as some new-age buffoons have asserted.

Well apparently you forgot the fact that each person is going to stand before God on the judgement day for the deeds done in his or her own body. When that person who committed suicide has stood before the Lord, (has already been judged)... that person cannot say "Obama made me do it"
