A White House staffer was arrested late Friday after allegedly shooting a gun at her boyfriend, an officer with the U.S. Capitol Police, during a heated argument, authorities said.
Barvetta Singletary, 37, who is a special assistant to President Obama and also holds the title of house legislative liaison, was charged with domestic violence in the incident, which police say occurred at her home in Upper Marlboro, Md.
Police say she summoned her boyfriend, who was not identified, by text message, and the two had sex. Afterward, according to the criminal complaint, Singletary went to the man’s car with him and accused him of dating other women. Inside the car, Singletary allegedly took the man’s cellphones and his service weapon, demanding passwords to unlock messages stored on the phones.

this illustrates what happens when otherwise rational people get into heated arguments and there's a firearm nearby.
Hardly. Rational people don't shoot at someone over an argument. Period.

I wonder what kinds of national policy "decisions" this lady has made?
Singletary played an integral role in crafting the landmark healthcare law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and Health Education Reconciliation Act.

Of course this persona does not have anything to do with Obama's policies however, it does go to show EVERYONE how unattached they can become when they deem themselves untouchable….
The fact that she damn missed is just a cherry on top!
