Anyone notice that the President was also sent a letter with Ricin in it?

Or do we hate the President so much here now that this is not a concern. MSNBC has been reporting this and noting that security intecepted the letter. This is an assassination attempt and not a peep.

I said it before, with all the mentally unstable tea baggers and gun nuts out there I'm surprised something like this doesn't happen more often.

is known and has written congress critters and senators many times in past...so why wasn't the person arrested back then? Is this another of those times where the FBI investigated and put them down as a non-threat? (like Ted Nugent?) Why don't they arrest these people at least as examples?
