Liberals can relax: Obama's alleged teleprompter thief has been apprehended...

Federal Marshals have the man who allegedly stole a truck containing Obama's teleprompter in custody.
HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WTVR) -A box truck carrying President Obama’s teleprompter and podium was found in Henrico a little over a year ago.
But the questions as to whether the items had been swiped and who had stolen the truck remained unanswered. Wednesday, Federal officials said they had those answers.
During a Fall 2011 presidential visit by President Barack Obama to Central Virginia, organizers had to go to a back-up plan after audio and visual equipment along with the presidential podium were swiped from a Courtyard by Marriott parking lot near Virginia Center Commons mall.
Days later, the equipment was found at a Holiday Inn Express near the airport.
The crime remained a mystery until federal investigators received a tip that a man had been bragging about the theft. Federal officials identified that man as 48-year-old Eric Brown.
