The Telegraph – Gen Hugh Shelton, who was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time, said in his new memoir, “Without Hesitation: The Odyssey of an American Warrior” that “the codes were actually missing for months. That’s a big deal — a gargantuan deal.”
A similar claim was made by Lt Col Robert Patterson, a former aide, in a book published seven years ago. He was one of the men who carried the briefcase, known as the “football”, and he said that the morning after the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke that he made a routine request of the president to present the card so that he could provide an updated version.
“He thought he just placed them upstairs,” Lt Col Patterson recalled. “We called upstairs, we started a search around the White House for the codes, and he finally confessed that he in fact misplaced them. He couldn’t recall when he had last seen them.”
He said the President lost the card holding the codes, which is known as the biscuit, in 1998, but according to Gen Shelton, the card went missing in 2000.
Former president Jimmy Carter was rumoured to have once left the ‘”biscuit” in a suit that was sent to the dry cleaners.
Carter sent his suit out to the dry cleaners? They still don't do things like that, do they?
Obama has a projectionist who is on staff, twenty-four hours a day. Tell me that the presidential wardrobe is dry-cleaned and maintained on the White House property. I know it sounds like an expense but I'm certain that the White House generates a ton of laundry from the residence and the public spaces as well. They must do their own laundry and dry cleaning. Right?
Orthodoxy SUCKS.

Zitat“Without Hesitation: The Odyssey of an American Warrior” that “the codes were actually missing for months. That’s a big deal — a gargantuan deal.”
On the plus side, he was able to get his crooked dick to blow straight ahead on an interns blue dress. That has to be worth something.
