BREAKING: TOTUS ONE HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  October 18th, 2011 at 08:16 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

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.

    Good one!

    or Rescued

    He is left speechless, or more pointedly, he is dangerous without being told what to say……..

  • oldbird77

    as the brits say.

  • tngal

    Well, at least he has a blueprint for what to do. When you no longer have your electronics, belt out a song.

    One thing you do NOT want is Obama speaking off the top of his head!

  • banzaibob

    The Presidents brain is missing as well.

  • uncmike

    I long for the day when he shuts up and goes away, but if Bill Clinton is any clue, that day will not come in my lifetime.

  • banzaibob

    Or the Teleprompter gets it.

    Imagine how much of the Cold War might have been averted if someone stole Kruschev’s podium.

    Or his infamous shoe.

    “President Obama had no comment.”

    He couldn’t ad-lib a belch after a Hungarian dinner.

  • throwback59

    for his beloved teleprompter. He also has a Navy Corpseman standing by in case it needs medical attention. 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.

  • ldmartin1959

    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.”

    ?I had my Mac stolen — that was like $5,500. Every night, something else is gone. Last night, our entire [kitchen] budget for the day was stolen, so the first thing I had to do was . . . get the message out to our supporters that we needed food!

    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.”

    If TOTUS is not recovered?

    Does that mean that Joe Biden becomes President?

  • retire05

    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.

  • ss396

    Was it before, or after, his speech yesterday? I’m guessing it was before his speech. With statements like:

    That?s my plan. Then you got [the Republican's] plan which is ?let?s have dirtier air, dirtier water, less people with health insurance?? So far I?m feeling better about my plan.?

    I mean, c’mon – TOTUS always had higher standards than that drivel.

  • wennejunk

    He’s a smart politician, although I disagree with the politics, and I suspect a very agreeable person.

    Carter on the other hand……grrrr.

    and his plans to “recover” the economy?

    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

    No problem, Mr Obama excels at extemporaneous speaking. The following is submitted for your consideration:

  • johnt

    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.

  • blooch

    until TOTUS 2.0 is flown in by SR-71 from Manchuria. The real question is who gets thrown under the BorgBus for this.

    Hey, Barry – just have Soros write it down and you hand it out. It won’t take as long that way.

  • Tbone

    That’s why it spent the night at a Holiday Inn Express.

    went straight to the brains of the operation.

    Bush. Cheney. And Rummy, of course.

  • nancylee

    Maybe we’ll catch a break from his sleep-inducing speeches.

  • Thomas_Hauber

    Here it straight from the lips (screen) of TOTUS himself.

    a team of SUV’s and guns. You know, the ones that go around killing people as opposed to the individuals who actually drive the SUV’s or shoot the guns.

    Just speechless…

    Not a bad thing…

    But there it is…

    I couldn’t believe they stole that bridge in western PA for scrap…

    Stealing the O’s teleprompter on the other hand is more like a public service… Leaves me with some hOpe for the election -> copycats…
