PRESIDENT TELEPROMPTER
Powerline ^ | October 19,2011 | STEVEN HAYWARD

Posted on 10/19/2011 2:05:58 PM PDT by Hojczyk

I recall the moment in 1979 when I concluded that Jimmy Carter was washed up. It was after the infamous “killer rabbit” episode (the “rabbit incident,” as his staff called it), and PBS funny man Mark Russell was telling the story of how Carter had raised up his canoe paddle to strike the rabbit–then Russell paused, and with his superb comic timing, leered at the camera and said slowly, “And you didn’t think Carter had a paddle!”

Well, by now you’ve probably heard the news that Obama’s teleprompter was stolen on his latest bus trip. And Conan O’Brien takes it from here. Worth watching through the online commercial.) If you’re losing the late night comics this badly. . . Yes, I know, George W. Bush lost them, too, but who cared. It matters more for Obama. Late night viewers tend to be the young and independent types that he has to have to get re-elected.

The thing is, I haven't heard anybody talk about the "what-if" scenarios.

These folks got into the President's bus.

What if they weren't after loot or treasure?

What if they had planted a bomb or anthrax or something?

I detest O'bama as much as the next guy, but dang it, I don't want Martyr O'bama, and President Biden just because this bunch of clowns can't lock a bus down.

That’s still funny - but my son has a scar on his leg from a rabbit bite. They are quiet but deadly;)

Rabbits are EVIL! Don't be fooled by their soft fur and big brown eyes. They are killers. ;-)

I prefer birds.

Is he saying that Obama is up a creek without a teleprompter?

They didn’t get into the bus. They stole a separate truck.

You mean he doesn't sleep with his teleprompter? Color me shocked!

That’s a separate issue. Traditionally the mistress does not live as well as the wife... ;)

My bad. You’re right. The same thing applies though. They could have done all sorts of things, possibly unnoticed.
