Thieves steal truck with President's equipment
NBC12 ^ | 10/17/2011 | Laura Geller

Posted on 10/18/2011 5:32:36 AM PDT by Squidpup

HENRICO, VA (WWBT) – NBC12 has uncovered one of those stories that makes you think: "How in the world does that happen?!" A truck filled with President Obama's podiums and audio equipment was stolen in Henrico just days before his visit to Chesterfield.

We confirmed an investigation with the U.S. Defense Department. There are still a lot of questions. The biggest one being did the thieves intentionally target the President's truck or did they take advantage of a crime of opportunity and give a big "uh-oh" when they saw what was inside.

When you see President Obama speak, there is a pretty typical setup including the presidential seal on a podium, the see-thru Teleprompter and a portable sound system.

Thieves saw the truck carrying that equipment and couldn't resist the target.

TOTUS has been kidnapped! Does this mean that Joe Biden is now President?

With all the billions wasted on government slush you couldn't afford to pay one minimum wage flunky to watch the ___ing truck!

I guarantee there was more than one person supposed to be watching the truck and they certainly aren't paying them minimum wage!

When President Bush came here they stored all the equipment including the limo in our fire stations, not some local motel 6. He stayed with friends. The same with Clinton, he stayed with friends and didn't leave the equipment in any truck at some hotel/motel.

That tells me Obama doesn't have any friends willing to put his *ss up for the night and the people working for him are too stupid to figure out the safest place for $200,000 worth of government equipment!

From TOTUS' blog today:

Help!

I'm sure you've experienced this. One minute you're sitting in the back of a truck, not a care in the world, waiting to continue your road trip for yet another appearance before adoring fans ... and then your world is turned upside down.

I've been kidnapped, and if Big Guy thinks he can negotiate with these guys the same way he talks to the terrorists in Lebanon, Afghanistan, Egypt, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, the Philippines, Mexico, Venezuela and the House Republican Conference, he better think twice.

Very strange. Obama has at least twice as much security as any previous POTUS, yet they let this happen. Suppose someone had put a bomb or something in the podium?

I think Obama brought a lot of Chicago thugs along with him and put them into the S.S., so he could be surrounded by his own guys. Looks like they may not be as competent as they should be.

That said, the post on Drudge is definitely good for a laugh!

LOL!!! I think it was an inside job. The TOTUS couldn't take it anymore and escaped. We already have had two teleprompters commit suicide.

This was my first thought---inside job.

TOTUS wants to help save the country. He has gone into a witness protection program.

And, in other news Obozo is looking for a 12 step program to help him deal with his teleprompter withdrawals.

LOL. Did Oboma have to call 911 because of withdrawal symptoms?

How could he? Without his teleprompter he wouldn't know the number!

According to someone here on FR....who had knowledge....there are 2 teleprompters in EVERY State.....so...I’m sure they’ll fly others in quickly.

Did they call an emergency meeting of the National Security Council because of this threat?

Is Obama going to declare martial law now?
