Bronx Firehouse Under Fire After Image of President Obama Appears on Toolbox, Defaced with Word "Hustler"

Bronx firehouse under fire after image of President Obama painted on toolbox, then defaced with the word "hustler."

A Bronx firehouse house, Engine 45, Ladder 58 located on Tremont Avenue, is under fire after officials discovered an image of President Barack Obama was painted on a toolbox and then defaced with the word "hustler."

According to the NY Daily News, the image of President Obama above the word "believe" appears to have been stenciled on a large toolbox visible inside the firehouse. It should be noted that the images are a violation of FDNY rules that ban firefighters from displaying vulgar or offensive material in the firehouses or in their lockers.

As you can see, underneath the image, "Allah Akbar" (or "God is great")  is scribbled in black ink. The FDNY has since launched an investigation. There are many in this country who have little regard for President Obama. So much so that his picture was featured prominently next to a police sketch of the Unabomber.
