Woman Blames Husband for Obama’s Reelection, Runs Him Over with Her Jeep

Upset over the result of last week's presidential election, an Arizona woman ran over her husband with her car, believing him to be directly responsible for Obama's reelection because he didn't vote.

According to police in Gilbert, 28-year-old Holly Solomon of Mesa and her husband Daniel argued loudly in a local parking lot before Holly got in her Jeep SUV and began chasing Daniel around. She eventually managed to pin him underneath the vehicle as he was trying to run away.

Daniel sustained life-threatening injuries and was rushed to Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn Medical Center where he remains in critical condition.

"According to Daniel, Holly believed her family was going to face hardship as a result of President Obama's re-election," Gilbert police Sergeant Jesse Sanger said in a statement.

Daniel's presidential preference likely wouldn't have mattered much to Romney: He won Arizona by a margin of some 200,000 votes.

"...as a result of President Obama's re-election"

Where would she get a notion like that? Someone must have been in her ear all the time that Obama was a Socialist Muslim who took over the country by fraud and was going to destroy it because he hates the USA.

She was probably afraid she'd have to order her next Jeep from China.

And that one vote was in Arizona?

I sincerely hope the hardship that she personally faces is many years in prison.
