Obama Volunteer Steals Speech Binder, Puts It On Ebay

LA Times:

As the 2008 presidential campaign neared its final week, Democrat hopeful Barack Obama breezed through Las Vegas to give a speech at Bonanza High School.

It was the usual ready-for-change-we-need stump speech, one he'd given dozens of times before and probably hardly needed the text for reference. And the usual crowd was enthusiastic and eager, as usual. ...

Someone identifying themself as "a volunteer staff member" very thoughtfully "retrieved" the speech binder. And is now Photo on eBay of the alleged Barack Obama Las Vegas speech textkindly offering the packet for sale on eBay.

As so as I saw this article this morning, I sent eBay a complaint and said it appeared to be stolen property. I was removed within an hour...I'm sure I'm not the only one who did that!

The person who did this is a thief normally. Once a thief always a thief.

[kellygrrrl]

interesting that there have been so FEW self-serving people to pop up from this campaign, considering how many people had access.
I'm sure the eBay dweller is feeling shame, regret and remorse at this point, as well they should.

Moving On

Considering the dot.coms and real estate are no longer a viable investments looks like selling Obama paraphenalia is the onliest thing we've got

[Trogenhorse]

So sad, simply ask and he would have likely gotten the binder/speech. He could have had a piece of history for decades to come. Well, his loss

[rpmcmurphy]

Ship him off to Gitmo forthwith.

[one4obama]

Looks like it got removed from Ebay.

Now if only eBay would alert the authorities to this individuals identity so they could take action against this thief and return Obama's property to him.

[magen]

Ah yes.

Thief is bad enough.

Worse is the stupid thief.

[IndyReader]

I wonder if Obama will offer this thief clemency when he finds out?

[MPeter]

He will send him to stand in a corner for a time out. Once he is done, he should send him to volunteer for community service at a veterans' facility, making beds or something.

OMG .. I bet HILLARY did it!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL Quick ...call Keith, Rachel and Chris

[edwarvir]

There is no way I want to be sitting in jail
over a speech you can down load from youtube.

Jail? For what only could be considered "Petty Theft" of a few pieces of notebook paper and a binder? Please....give me a break.

So was "A Christmas Carol" at one time. Shoot, a hundred-dollar bill is only ONE piece of paper.
Don't show your ignorance.

This person is not a real collector, just a thief and one with no honor. The person who did this will be caught and will be in trouble. This person is really stupid to think that you can post something on eBay and not get traced. Maybe it was joe the plummer.

[newshawk14]

I agree with you, I hope at a minimum he faces a hefty fine, if not a little jail time.

[ApolloniaCreed]

I simply don't care....

[learnsomething]

Seems like you would have ignored this thread then.

[DarkandStormyNight]

And?

[NoSillyName]

What a creep!

Compare this stunt to the GOP volunteer. Remember her?

Both are creeps.

[VOTER]

Agree.

What's with eBay doing by participating in this sale?

eBay selling STOLEN GOODS. Makes for a fine new ad.

[mcarmaniac]

someone also "very thoughtfully" removed the pages that had "mccain is a tool" endlessly scribbled in the margins. now thats volunteerism at its finest.

[mjb5406]

It's called "redacting" :-)

[DarkandStormyNight]

LOL!!!
