I REPEAT: TOTUS ONE HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED.
A truck carrying President Obama’s podium, teleprompter and audio equipment was stolen in Richmond, Va., a local news outlet reports.
Sources tell WWBT/NBC12 that around $200,000 of presidential equipment was stolen from a Richmond Marriott hotel location in advance of Wednesday’s presidential visit to Chesterfield, Va.
President Obama had no comment.

A translator is has been called in as the teleprompter’s native tongue is Austrian. If the Teleprompter makes the ultimate sacrifice and becomes a fallen hero, Obama will invite it to the next Memorial Day ceremony.

No man has any more intrinsic right to offical station than another. Those who hold government jobs for a long time are apt to acquire a habit of looking with indifference upon the public interests, and of tolerating conduct from which an unpracticed man would revolt. – Andrew Jackson
The reponse
ldmartin1959 Tuesday, October 18th at 9:14AM EDT (link)Upon hearing of the theft of the TOTUS, one critic stated, “He couldn’t ad-lib a belch after a Hungarian dinner.” Today, the White House issued a formal statement: “After much consideration, debate, and conferring with my advisors, I can categorically state that this critic wouldn’t have said that if my teleprompter were here.”
Obviously, a busy Tea Party Robbing Crew:

Crafty cat burglars sneaked into the makeshift kitchen at Zuccotti Park overnight and swiped as much as $2,500 in donated greenbacks from right under the noses of volunteers who’d fallen asleep after a long day whipping up meals for the hundreds of hungry protesters, the volunteers said.”

It's all a lie
retire05 Tuesday, October 18th at 9:47AM EDT (link)I have it on good resources that TOTUS and Seal tried to run away. They are claiming sanctuary at the Holiday Inn saying that for three years now they have been held captive and terribly abused.
TOTUS showed signed of stress and says that it has to work, work, work with no time off. Seal said that David Alexrod had no sympathy and expected it to stick on anything and everything including the sides of cars, podiums, etc.
Both tried to evoke the 14th Amendment but were advised by their lawyers that the 14th doesn’t apply to a TOTUS or a Seal.

Timing
ss396 Tuesday, October 18th at 9:49AM EDT (link)Was it before, or after, his speech yesterday? I’m guessing it was before his speech. With statements like:

Oh wait, he has repeated the same stuff over and over again so often even he probably has it memorized by now.
Thank goodness for those repetitive neo-socialist talking points, right? /sarc
Have the president's comic books and crayons been recovered?

johnt Tuesday, October 18th at 10:41AM EDT (link)Does this mean Obama will have to ad lib his slime? I’m assuming he can do that on his own, if not, back to writing on the back of his hand.
