Obama's stolen teleprompter recovered, national silence averted

First, the bad news: They recovered President Obama's teleprompter.

So, anybody going to his speeches on the current Darth Vader armored bus tour through North Carolina and Virginia is still going to get the full 22-minute monty about how he's there to listen.

The Real Good Talker's top speech aide was in a truck stolen from a Richmond hotel parking lot early Monday morning and recovered in another hotel parking lot about 12 hours later.

The truck, actually belonging to the Defense Department that handles presidential communications, contained the "Now Say This" machine as well as nearly a quarter-million dollars in communications gear and the all-important presidential seal.

Anybody who's ever attended a presidential speech has noticed the seal. It's a big perk of the job. A guy with a large gun under his suit coat walks out onto the stage just before POTUS is introduced and places the seal on the front of the podium.

That way we all know for sure who is going on and on about people in Washington not listening when he isn't in Washington listening either.

The Manchurian Teleprompter...

Rats!!! And here I thought we had finally silenced the idjit.

[ken21]

that’s funny.

i just read the headline to my wife and she laughed too.

[Chode]

[chuckee]

Does he really need a teleprompter for a speech whose content is saying “Pass this bill” 20 times in a row?

[moovova]

The gubment probably never would’ve found the truck if the perps hadn’t stopped at the Holiday Inn Express to eat breakfast.

“Come on Earl Ray, please! We gotta go back to the Holiday Inn Express! We get a free breakfast because we stayed there last night. You know how much I love those cinnamon rolls!”

“OK Jim Bob...but we have to hurry. We got this here hot truck we gotta get rid of. And I don’t know where we gonna sell all that crap in the back. I’m not even sure what some of that stuff is.”

[Dragonspirit]

LOL @ the title! We could only be so lucky, no more Obamaisms until it was replaced.

The sad part is President Token doesn’t have an original thought in his addled brain.

[50mm]

It's a good thing they found the TOTUS. Zero couldn't do business without it.

[Kaslin]

Have you ever heard him speak without the teleprompter? Or someone that can not speak to a class of 6th grade student with out a teleprompter does certainly need one

[newheart]

I don't know which would be worse. Obie with his prompter, or Obie as a mime.

[50mm]

[the invisib1e hand]

too funny. if that presidential seal could talk.

[Candor7]

Oh Poo!

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

I think they should call it the “Let Me Be Clear Machine For Phonetic Readers” since he mispronounces “Corpse Man” and every time he starts to tell a whopper, he precedes it with “Let me be clear”

[elkfersupper]

A puppet and a goofball.

Goofball was an affectionate term in the '50's, '60's and '70's.

Now it means a dangerous man with dangerous ideas who happens to be driving the boat (AKA the Ship of State).

[TigersEye]

Is she getting her quota of Hope and Change from 0bama’s stash?

[elkfersupper]

It's nice to know our President's brain is back.

Maybe somebody hacked it while it was gone.

It would be nice if it made sense and reflected reality.

[Kaslin]

Yeah without it, he is totally helpless

[Candor7]

Obama has been crapping on everyone since he was inaugurated.....the Auto Companies, The Banks,The Oil Companies, Mubarak, Gadaffi, Nethanyahu, The Cambridge MA Police...., Mexico ( Gunwalker),Texas ( harassed by EPA) Arizona...crapping on everone of them....

And you know what? We are ALL getting tired of it. I am ready too cork his A$$!
