GOP speaker of Kansas House prays for Obama’s death, calls First Lady “Mrs. YoMama”

One can only wonder how THIS PERSON ever attained a position of power in the Kansas State Legislature:

The Republican speaker of the Kansas statehouse issued an apology this week after sending emails from his personal account referring to First Lady Michelle Obama as “Mrs. YoMama” and quoting a Bible verse cited by some as a reference to presidential assassination.

Kansas House Speaker Mike O’Neal , from the city of Hutchison, sent an email before Christmas that compared the president’s wife to the Dr. Seuss character The Grinch, with a tagline asking: “Twins separated at birth?”

“I’m sure you’ll join me in wishing Mrs. YoMama a wonderful, long Hawaii Christmas vacation — at our expense, of course,” the forward read.

In another of O’Neal’s emails, he referenced Psalm 109 from the Old Testament, which reads in part:

May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.

May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.

May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.

May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children.


O’Neal wrote: “At last — I can honestly voice a Biblical prayer for our president! Look it up — it is word for word! Let us all bow our heads and pray. Brothers and Sisters, can I get an AMEN? AMEN!!!!!!”

This is the base of the Republican party..THEN show the names of Republicans who condemned the comment.
Of course the list will be blank.

jobs in other states. It's no wonder with idiots like this in office. And Brownback thinks he's going to create zillions of jobs in Kansas and have many people and corps. flocking to KS. He better cleanup fools like this first.

1) people in important public roles, spreading that kind of hateful rhetoric, can cause people with limited marbles to get violent.

2) Praying for a political opponents death really is kind of sick. The magic man in the sky isn't going to do anything to help of course but whatever.

it's one thing if it was just the President who is a political public figure. but his wish is to see the wife and especially the young kids in pain and without anything.

I mean, this is a public official and what this amounts to is treason. How in the world are these idiots getting away with this stuff?

People in other countries think American's are crazy for the way our President is disrespected - this is a perfect example of what they are talking about.

I'm just shaking my head in sorrow that our country has come to this.

edge of being. At minimal, he lacks maturity and is unfit for public office. No wonder people think Kansas is a joke of a state, no wonder people in other countries think America is a pack of fools. Comments like this travel far and wide.

He forwarded right wing emails. The quoted story wasn't really very honest about that.

The Secret Service can hardly run down everyone that forwarded the email.
