Secret Service made a mistake...they thought it was January, so they left to go pick up Vice President Ryan.

The secret service can not even protect their own equipment, yet they are charged with protecting the president and VP. Sounds like they really need to step up their job performance a little.

A vehicle stolen in Detroit. Who would have imagined that could happen?......

JS...they were probably with the hookers AGAIN!

JS in SD-Perhaps they don't want to protect B.O. and Jbi, did you ever consider that one??

Probably so excited about the chance of a new boss they left the key in the ignition.

That's where the Detroit police were when a murderer tried twice to get himself arrested and the police didn't respond.

Biden gear is worthless. :-)

My goodness. Was the Secret Service out hunting prostitutes again?!

He declined to say whether any of the equipment was stolen.

Translation- "He declined to acknowledge that the truck was completely empty and sitting on concrete blocks."

The thieves must have been some of those Detroit unemployed folks just looking for something to sell at a local "swap meet".

Not too smart of the thieves, they should have parked the vehicle in the driveway of a foreclosed home or business since there would be many to choose from in the Detroit area.

Bet the thieves were totally surprised when all they found in the van was Mr. Biden's "C-Pak".

U-Haul's fine fleet doesn't have tracking devices on their rigs? I guess you can't claim the government over spent on this one.

Hey Secret! Every heard of GPS tracking. Not!

Looks like another of those James O'Keefe tea bag crimes.

Hate to rain on your liberal parade there, US1776, but unlike you liberals, Tea Baggers don't steal from Americans and give to others in useless entitlement handouts for votes. And they sure as hell aren't the radical left wing anarchist OWS destruction crowd. Try again. More than likely, the perp or perps were your typical Detroit Obama voter bloc. What a great job you liberal Dems and unions did on destroying that once great city...rotting it like a fish from the head down.

jhawke you better read and see what your teabaggers are spending in washington. Not so conservative with the money like they say

But.... who woulda thought he needed a U-Haul, .... just for the liquor...?

There are so many jokes and so much incompetence I just don't know where to start!! Secret Service trucks getting stolen. Joe Biden Supplies. To address union rally. portable metal detectors. Detroit. Government renting a U-Haul truck. Did they get the accidental insurance??

I don't think I can stop laughing long enough to even type some of the incompetence comments that are coming to mind:)!! Sorry, it's just too easy with this administration..............

No Jhawk, tea partiers steal from the American people and keep it for themselves.

CoCo-1551796 I played with many a hooker when in Vietnam during R&R in Saigon as a 17 year old testosterone overloaded kid. Who cares if men, or women, indulge in the oldest profession in history. What got these guys in trouble was they didn't pay, which is a big no-no!

Besides, if men could figure out how women ticked, and visa-versa, there would not be a need for hookers!

Is that "person of interest" in the stolen truck video wearing a "Hope and Change" t-shirt?

They do seem to be dropping the ball quite a bit lately which is very disconcerting. However, on the bright side, the right wing nut jobs haven't gotten to the President yet. The SS must be doing something right.

After viewing the photo, I only have one thing to say.................Oh the irony!!!

Who steals a U-Haul truck. I mean it's not like it's inconspicuous or that you're gonna outrun the Police with it's "incredible top speed". Ridiculous!

Stronghorse: Now THAT was funny:)!! A Hope and Change T-Shirt!! ROFLMAO!!

The only real difference between Liberals and Conservatives ... is which side of the checks they sign. I'm glad VP Biden [& U-Haul] got this truck back. Detroit wouldn't be a good town for him to be wandering around [snark]. Usually when ANYTHING is stolen in Detroit, it is never found again.

Up? Off?

???

Both?

Thats funny Bobs ur uncle. !!

When Romney is forced to show his tax returns, then we will see how low you righwingers can go.

But, that is okay with you right wingers, you all just hate the person in the White House.. Sad..

Why does one have to be a right winger to not like the current administration? I vote on performance, what has helped America, and unfortunately I have not seen anything in almost four years.

nobody in their right mind cares about taxreturns over getting this nation back on its feet. NObama has failed outside of making it easier to get welfare.

We're getting back on our feet and you don't speak for me. I care about tax returns.

if your idea of getting back on our feet is record high fuel, food, prices and the failure of obama sponsored green companies who are his contributors, you have lost it pal! and the tax returns, old news. get over it. if you want to take up a cause, protest the fast and furious cover up

YO TruthBeTold1226-6707403 Show us your TAX return!!

Mitt has paid more taxes in the last two years then you'll ever pay in your entire lifetime. That is if you pay taxes at all. It's the no payers that seem to be so concerned about Mitt's taxes i've noticed. Certain names that continue to repeat on here have a theme and a direction, so the freeloads can be spotted as they want their checks first and they don't want a President that might ask them to work. No we wouldn't want that. Stand in line like the rest of us!!!

Scott & Nasty, we are better off now, How bad do you think it would have gotten if the president's policies did not stop the job losses of 800,000 a month when he took office? The stock market was in the 7000's, Corporate profits are now at an all time high, what happened to your trickle down economics? The same policies that Bush put in place are still in place, where are the jobs? That's a question you better be asking your republican congressman and senators. Everything the Obama admin. has tried to put into place has been filibustered by your good old boys.(look it up) He has been filibustered more than the last 50 years combined. And as far welfare that's just a straight up lie, he has actually made it harder to get welfare because of requiring more work not less work. You really need a reality check. Or may I suggest some fact checking.

What's REALLY sad, is because some of us disagree with some of his policies, some of you call us haters? racists? Nice going, but that trick won't work. Still boils down to not liking his policies. Have you not done any rea................. oh never mind . .

I wanna see obumers transcripts. foreign student

just like Tommy Thomson in Wisconsin. I will not release my taxes, no no no. What don't you understand when I made millions on lobbying in Washington and don't want you to know what a dick i am on the money i made!

Liberals care so much about Romneys money and tax returns. Priorities are all screwed up just like

this administrations. You should be worried what Obama does with your/our money.

Secret service now peddling Biden/Obama beer? B.O. beer!

NO MORE YEARS

B.O. has got to go!

Well anyone that remembers past 2 years ago remembers Obama had the congress and the senate. He set all this in motion and now hides behind the "I inherited this mess" Really!? Funny I don't remember anyone giving the Bush administration credit for leveling the field and getting rid of Osama's hiding places....no can't give any of the Bushes credit for anything or Reagan for that matter. I for one want someone who will say no to pork barrel spending, no to freebies for able bodied free loaders and who recognizes the need to keep the USA working, proud and free! I am sick and tired of treating those who are smart enough to make money, that take the initiative to become wealthy and want to see the rest of America to aspire to achieve the same. Rich is not a dirty word! Middle class is the new poor. I am far from rich. I make to much for my kids to get financial aid to go to college but do not make enough to put them through college. SO they go into debt to put themselves through, work hard to pay it back and maybe become wealthy in the process. Then the Democrats and bleeding heart liberals accuse those same people of bigotry and racial bias. That they should pay more taxes because they have an obligation to redistribute the wealth they made for themselves to those who choose to sit back and not do anything! Rich is not a dirty word any more then poor makes you entitled. Get of your lazy behinds and find your own way America! We are not the land of the freebies and the home of the naive anymore! Start reading and educate yourselves on the issues, the records and the false promises...open your eyes and ears!

You, on the other hand, are brilliant.

Millard said it and its right on too...

NObama had 2 yrs with a party controlled house to make action. he couldnt get democratic support enough to get the HCR passed without illegal (as said the supreme court after) back door deals for the votes to get it passed. we were promised an open debate, (dem party controlled still) before the vote, LIVE on CSPAN.. then were told we were too stupid to understand, (by Pelosi) so live debate was cancelled. (I still call BS on that one)

after a little over a year being elected NObama took hold of the nation and said from now on the trouble of the economy lies squarely on his shoulders. yet the same "Bush's fault" excuse from him (NObama), and his lackys... pathetic. he had 3 yrs to put the US on a positive foot forward....FAIL. almost 4 total to show progress... FAIL! well he did make us famous by taking the ENTIRE whitehouse staff (just over 500 people) on an all exspence paid trip to the UK on our taxdollars (what a guy!).

We all make mistakes NObama... it's ok.... just right now the country doesnt need another community organiser, it needs a leader. a man of real action. who knows the ins and outs of actual job creation, balancing a budget, and making ends meet. not spend beyond our means, and exspect a handout later.

our ancestors who came here built a nation on hard work and dilligence, not standing in the UE line, or getting handouts because they are lazy. people who wanted to work, show promise in a new land they didnt have in their old one... not hand outs. this goes from when we first landed here, to our LEGAL immigrant families of past to the ones who are here today. NObama has made their fight, and efforts seem in vain. lets take that back this Nov election....

-Romney/Ryan 2012-

I am very critical of ANY person sitting in the White House, be it Bush, Obama, Clinton, or even Romney if he gets elected. Critical because they are supposed to represent the people that vote, though that in and of itself is a travesty with the Electoral College that doesn't necessarily reflect the will of the people. In fact, the electoral college actually takes power away from the people. You see, IF elections were decided by popular votes, you wouldn't have states getting blown off because they don't have 55 electoral college votes. There wouldn't be a such thing as a battle ground state or states because EVERY VOTE would mean something. As it is now, unless you live in OHIO, or Virginia or Florida, it really doesn't matter how disgusted or how happy you are, because your vote means NOTHING. So why even bother.

The other real btch I have is concerning campaign contributions, I mean Bribes. Let's just call it what it is. Democrat or Republican you never see a candidate hosting a $5.00 wienie roast, but you sure as hell see $25k half plate dinners. Now who in the hell can afford that, other than the wealthy. You see lobbyists and unions pandering and soliciting support from congressmen, buying them essentially with "campaign contributions". But you sure as hell don't see ANY elected official asking how are you doing or what is important to you. It is even more disgusting that you have a chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee (Chuck Rangle - D) who committed tax fraud for well over 10 years by not declaring proceeds on rental properties and all he got was a censure, which amounts to a basic letter of admonishment. Anyone of us to do the same thing, we get prison, and for a much smaller amount. You have congressmen engaged in selling insider trading information, building multi million dollar stock portfolios and getting access to IPOs, and they are supposed to be representing "the masses".

How is it then, that most of our congressmen are multimillionaires if they are supposed to be OF the people. It is more like of the 1%. What we need is to do away with political parties, just as George Washington warned ("political parties and unions serve no other purpose than to divide what we fought, bled and died for"). And tell me this. Every damned politician you hear says they KNOW the plight of the middle class, and the poor. REALLY? How is that frickin possible when you are eating steak, while the rest of us are eating dirt? How do they know what foreclosure is, when they are making more by sitting on their fat asses in Washington, bickering, than the working stiff with 3 jobs and still can't make ends meet. Not because they are living beyond their means, but because the cost of food, utilities, and let's not forget the gas, or even the trickle down economics of passing the cost of shipping of american company goods from China or Taiwan.

Now we can btch all we want about how Obama inherited Bush's mess, and Bush can certainly btch about how he inherited Clinton's mess (to include the semen stains on the oval office carpet), but in the end, we all inherit the mess of those that are supposed to represent OUR WILL, when instead they represent their own selfish interests. You can't expect the rich or the corrupt to ever vote in favor of something that does NOT better their position. So really the only solution is to find a common man, even a homeless man or woman and elect them. THEY know what jobless is. They know what homeless is. And for sure they aren't going to have to pretend to know and understand what ails the public as a whole.

For what it is worth, I can't support either Romney or Obama or even the Independent candidate because they are NOT REPRESENTATIVE of the People... I would urge all of you to not vote party, but to vote for the candidate that most closely represents YOUR values. And to be honest, I don't see any honor, integrity, or legitimacy in any of the candidates on November's ballot...

So many completely fubar'd narratives going on here - it's ridiculous.

I mean, how many times do I need to hear that TOTAL LIE about the potus killing work requirements on welfare? As I'm sure it has already been explained to you, and as I'm sure you will ignore it yet again for the sake of your false narrative: The waivers were requested by Republicans in Republican states to remove certain red-tape around particular stipulations of the work requirement.

An approved waiver requires that the state provide a plan that will ensure AT LEAST a 20% increase in people getting off welfare and back to work. The problem with the current system is that people tend to get into a cycle of work-for-welfare; due to the system's strict timeline requirements, which doesn't get people off the government dole. The waivers provide ways around the timeline requirements so that new out-of-the-box programs can be initiated which will help get people off welfare PERMANENTLY.

Moronic partisan knuckledraggers are only against such a perfectly reasonable measure, that Republicans and Democrats alike supported; because they hate the potus. That's the only imagineable reason. It's blind partisanship, completely devoid of any truth or reason.... pathetic garbage. Grow up, these aren't football teams we're rooting for. This is our future; and if you're going to base your vote off lies, mistruths, chicken littling nonsense that YOU KNOW IS FALSE - you are exactly what is wrong with the world...

That's alright - if the metal detectors are used to detect weapons and prevent attacks on people, they will be serving their purpose.

Why did the GOP hire Crazy Clint to crash the RNC? This question and many more will be answered when VP Joe knocks out Pitiful Paul in the first round of Political Debates.

Worst then that, Romneys past 11 years tax returns. They are a Mother to say the least. Even a dog know that Romney is hiding how he SHELTERED, and CHEATED on his taxes. And you righwingers are going to vote for a tax cheater.. shame, shame.. and more shame....

All Biden is going to do is get up there and make fun of people who understand and use firearms.

If he really cheated on his taxes, are you kidding, the IRS would have been all over him, he would not even be in the race for the whitehouse. Wake up, and stop believing in the biased national media.

Scott, I think you may be a little dilusional, the IRS dosen't go after people that can afford tax attorneys to defend themselves.

Remember now, the IRS has a form allowing wealthy people to 'amend' their taxes if they get caught accidentaly forgeting to pay taxes. Ryan just proved that to us.

Gosh, I wonder if the IRS has other ways for people to get out of paying their fair share of taxes?

LOL - All this speculation about Romney and Ryan and their taxes when we know some of Obama's closest people were tax dodgers. I don't see you guy bitching about that.

Find a new talking point. You fail with this one... Badly.

TruthBeTold - would that be anything like the Kennedy overseas trust funds?

I would like to know why Tim Geitner (head of IRS) was chosen by Obama and approved by the Dems in Senate for head of IRS when he had not FILED income taxes for 4 years and not paid for 6 years and DID NOT have to pay when approved. Sure trust him to hire the 17,000 new employees it is going to take to check the taxes of small businesses in 2013 when that portion of Obamacare kicks in! The should be honest folks.

Actually, for this president and vp, the secret service seem to be much more than adequate.

No wonder the animal representing the dems is a jackass...Romney isnt a tax cheat he uses legal tax code to shelter his earnings. If you want to talk tax cheat look no further than Tim Geithner...Obamas head of the treasury who is so stupid he couldnt figure out turbo tax!

TruthBeTold,

Funny name for someone who lacks the comprehension to understand truth. If the last years of Romney's taxes we suspect the IRS at Joe Biden's and President Obama's bidding would have him in chains.

The claim that right wingers are tax cheaters pails next to Timothy Geithner "Head Tax Cheat" in charge of the Treasury. I suppose you think he is a right winger. How about Jon Cozine? The ponzi scammer...right winger there also.

Next

djzap. Geithner is not running for president Romney is!! I really suggest you read the Rolling stone article on Romney and Bain. They are getting Close to filing charges on Bain and Romney for Tax evasion.

You know what really pisses me off?

I as responsible American citizen have done my legal and financial obligation to my country by filing paying my taxes on time. Now Romney has the gall to file an extension for 2011, its not like he is doing them himself having to fill out hundreds of pages for tax loopholes and write offs, we don't even know if he did his 2009 or 2008 taxes there not listed on his web site as being done. Why is it that Rmoney is not even responsible enough to file his taxes on time? A person with this irresponsible nature should not be running our country. Doing your taxes on time is the most basic responsibility of every American.

From Mitts web site:

In addition, Gov. Romney has released numerous financial disclosures since 2002, as required by law – which have also been posted on this site. There are 3 federal Public Financial Disclosures (from 2007, 2011, and 2012), and 6 Massachusetts Statements of Financial Interests (from 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007). Financial Disclosures ??? Nothing about him paying his taxes, but no financial disclosure from 2008 and 2009. What happened in 2008 and 2009? Are these the years he applied for amnesty because he committed fraud or did not pay any taxes? I'll guess the American public will never get full disclosure from Mitt.

Not responsible enough to file taxes on time , not responsible enough to be President.

Obama/Biden 2012

coco,

You are either badly mis informed or ypour just making stuff up "I would like to know why Tim Geitner (head of IRS)". Tim Geitner is not head of the IRS Doug Shulman is. and the rest of what you have to say??? well your just lost. Do some fact checking its easy or you just don't want to kknow the truth.

A new report just out from the Internal Revenue Service reveals that 36 of President Obama's executive office staff owe the country $833,970 in back taxes. These people working for [Obama] apparently haven't paid any share, let alone their fair share.

Previous reports have shown how well-paid Obama's White House staff is, with 457 aides pulling down more than $37 million last year. That's up seven workers and nearly $4 million from the Bush administration's last year.

http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/01/white-house-staffers-owe-more-than-in-back-taxes-112412.html

Yeah....Tim Geithner didn't pay his back taxes until he was on Obama team and they realized that it would be trouble.

Tim was never planning to pay the back taxes he owed. Instead he was happy making excuses like he didn't understand that he needed to pay his taxes. What a sham in our faces.

Dissapointed...how can they be the elite of the law enforcement when Eric Holder is their boss? The unionof the border patrol is suing him for making them break the law.

maybe they realize that no one is interested in Biden...he was chosen because he is such an idiot no one would dare an assassination attempt because the second in line couldnt hold up to ronald mcdonald

The Secret Service was the elite until Janet Reno and Eric Holder showed up. Just saying the proof is in the last 4 years.

All you teabaggers are so full of misinformation the head of the secret service is Mark Sullivan, he was named Deputy Director in January 2006, Yes he was appointed by Mr. Bush

@ why 3122622 so now it is Bushes fault again?

Well Burning, I don't think that was what he meant. It must be your guilty conscience that makes that drove you to that conclusion.

I was just telling my wife that this is the second time this happened. I think it happened in Florida too. Makes you wonder.

Any sensible person knows that you never leave valuable equipment in an untended vehicle (especially in Detroit.) That applies anywhere in the country, but a 50-mile radius around any large city (say 100,000 or more pop.) is an open hunting ground for thieves who want drug money. Either leave a person to watch the vehicle, or take everything inside with you. A secure parking lot with razor wire fences and sharpshooters in guard towers might be OK, but any other parking arrangement is easy pickings.

Wonder what was going on in the hotel.

If there was 'sensitive material' in the truck it never would have been in Detroit.

His brain?

Yeah, I understand he was using one of the TWO teleprompters that Romney used at the convention. What did you think those things were in front of Romneys podium anyway?

John Holmes...! Street thug! Whose fault was that?

Rick...you are right. There is NO law that requires any public official to release their tax forms. NONE. John Kerry released his but his wife (the one with the bucks) files separate and she did not release hers so the bulk of their/fortune income was never released...same with John Edwards. both these men are far richer than the Romneys.

All you teabaggers are so full of misinformation the head of the secret service is Mark Sullivan was named Deputy Director in January 2006, Yes he was appointed by Mr. Bush

No body bailed out the unions a company that hires union workers was bailed out. But guess what Rayn voeted for the bail out.

Nobody bailed out the unions? Somebody ignored US contract law to screw GM's bondholders and make sure the unions came out OK. Nobody bailed out the union?

It was the bankruptcy laws that were over-ridden, in order to give GM and Chrysler assets to UAW and Fiat. They had no standing, as they were not secured creditors (unless they owned a few bonds.)

All the Kennedys, the Kerrys, and the Edwards had mega investments out of the country. Why was that not an issue? why are we just learning about it now? WHO CARES???

And his partially read book "Green Eggs and Ham.". (It had an ear turned down on page 2.)
