Sometimes even the most powerful man in the world forgets to lock the door.
An unmarked truck containing around $200,000 worth of White House gear mysteriously disappeared from a hotel parking lot in North Carolina on Monday, jeopardizing the whereabouts of several bulletproof podiums, a portable sound system and the see-thru Teleprompter that Barack Obama uses to deliver his presidential addresses.
Shortly after authorities noticed that, um, the president’s truck was missing, it turned up outside of a Holiday Inn Express
The White House has yet to comment on who was responsible, what exactly happened or how several hundred thousand dollars of high-tech equipment used daily by the president of the United States of America managed to disappear from a Marriott parking lot in Chesterfield, NC. The incident occurred in-between engagements during President Obama’s current three-day bus tour of the Mid Atlantic.
Authorities have remained mostly mum on the incident since it was first reported yesterday, but now a statement from a Defense Information Systems Agency spokesperson reads, "No classified or sensitive information was in the vehicle. We take incidents such as this very seriously and a formal investigation is continuing."
Could bumbling Barry have left the keys in the ignition? Was it a clever prank from those jokers with the Secret Service? Or maybe someone in North Carolina just wanted to take a giant truck for a joyride?
Otherwise, neither the White House nor the military has commented on who was behind the incident or if anything was stolen. If you happen to see a suspicious person staring into a Teleprompter and urging passerbys to “pass this bill,” it might be a good enough reason to call the Secret Service up and let them know.

Assistant Attorney General resigns over dominatrix scandalAlisha Smith was bringing in nearly 80 grand a year as an assistant attorney general in New York, but citing her co-workers’ inability to cope with her private life, she offered her resignation yesterday. Smith says she’d rather just be a dominatrix. |







Like the uninvited guest that keep showing-up at private White House events, this latest securtiy breach maybe a "warning" that the president is not as safe as he thinks himself to be!
That if, he decides to cross certain "redlines" or refuses to "consider" certain issues harbored by the status quo; a security "slip" could get him shot or dead! This president may be not killing enough and evading enough Muslim and Arab countries like he's suppose to be doing and someone is getting angry!
