Can't believe we weren't lucky enough to get this one in the US.  Howabout the victims or surviving family members sue Merkle, and the German Govt for allowing this killer in?  You think politicians would improve the vetting process if they had some skin in the game?  

Heard on the news this morning that in the questionnaire we have potential immigrants fill out, we don't even ask if they associate with jihadist.  Which begs the question, if there was a machine that could measure common sense on a 0-100 scale, how many of the Obama Admin would be in the double digits?

I doubt if any could reach a number without a preceding ".".
