President Obama’s teleprompter may be more valuable than even his biggest critics claim. After all, a man who stole Obama’s teleprompter was sentenced to seven years in federal prison.

“”It’s all the more serious when the property belongs to the White House Communications Agency.””

Seven years. Gosh, what’s an F-16 worth in years? Time served, I’ll bet.

Yeah. Obama's stuff is much more valuable than a mere commoner's. /s

He shouldn't have tried to sell it on E Bay. The NSA monitors that site.

Should've done Craig's list. Nobody believes anything on it.

He could have received a stiffer sentence because he effectively stole Hussein’s brain.

Seven years at a reeducation camp will do the comrade good.

One would think the penalty would be harsher for kidnapping the leader of a nation.

It serves him right for getting caught stealing something of value. He should have just taken Obama - petty theft or perhaps just shoplifting for taking something of little to no value.

Warning! Don’t even think of touching Obama’s deer or boars.
And leave his trees alone too.

"The theft of government property is a serious offense,"

On the other hand, welfare fraud and corrupt union contracts are OK.

Sometimes it's hard to keep things straight.
