Anyone want to bet on when Sharpton will come out of the woodwork screaming racism so he can have a beer with the President?
Three people posed as insurance agents hawking President Obama’s health-care reform plan to gain entry to a Long Island home, where they pistol-whipped, shot and robbed two women and a man, authorities said.
Vance Jackson, 46, of Yonkers, and Benjamin Thompson, of Brooklyn, were arraigned yesterday in Central Islip on attempted-murder and burglary charges.
A female accomplice, Natalie Taylor, 26, of Nyack, is expected to be arraigned today.

Prosecutors said Thompson and Taylor approached a home on Virginia Avenue at around noon Friday, and then began to talk about Obama’s policies, while Jackson pushed into the door seeking cash.
Taylor allegedly pistol-whipped one woman, and Thompson shot another in the foot as Jackson led the man upstairs to retrieve some cash.
“When he didn’t get enough money, he shot the man twice in the neck, once in the back, and once in the chest,” said a Suffolk County prosecutor at the men’s arraignment.
A couple of real winners is what they’ve got there.
Prosecutors said the two men, both with lengthy rap sheets, hatched the plan when they met for the first time at a parole meeting in Brooklyn.
Thompson was out on parole with four violent felony convictions. Prosecutors believe he has 17 felony and five misdemeanor cases pending. Jackson also has at least six convictions for violent felonies.
With just six average, non-reckless moving violations, a Washingtonian can have their license suspended or revoked. However, with 17 felony cases pending, you are allowed to walk the streets of the Empire State.
Sadly, it looks like there’ll be no retroactive abortions approved for these two and they’ll get all the free healthcare they want for the next couple decades on the dime of the residents of NY.
