When he addresses crowds, the president often uses a teleprompter and a podium adorned with the presidential seal.<\/p>\n
“A truck filled with President Obama’s<\/strong> podiums and $200,000 worth of audio equipment,” including a teleprompter from which he reads prepared remarks and the presidential seal he stands behind, was stolen from a hotel parking lot in Henrico, Va., on Monday, local WWBT-TV reports.<\/p>\n The vehicle was discovered a short time later outside another local hotel. The TV station says it isn’t yet known whether everything inside was recovered.<\/p>\n An unnamed “Defense Information Systems Agency” spokesperson tells the station that “no classified or sensitive information was in the vehicle.”<\/p>\n We’ll leave it to others to speculate about how going without his teleprompter might affect the president. It’s safe to say, though, that a backup teleprompter is probably always available.<\/p>\n The president is in the middle of a bus tour through North Carolina and Virginia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When he addresses crowds, the president often uses a teleprompter and a podium adorned with the presidential seal. “A truck filled with President Obama’s podiums and $200,000 worth of audio equipment,” including a teleprompter from which he reads prepared remarks and the presidential seal he stands behind, was stolen from a hotel parking lot in […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":210,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-national-news","pmpro-has-access"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flsentinel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flsentinel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flsentinel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flsentinel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/210"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flsentinel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10791"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/flsentinel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10791\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flsentinel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flsentinel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10791"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flsentinel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
