Las Vegas Mayor Telling Obama To Stay Away
Nevada Governor On Fox
The battle between President Obama and Las Vegas has heated up. Obama issued an apology to Harry Reid earlier this week after telling people “you don’t blow a bunch of cash in Las Vegas while trying to save for an education”.
Then he (Obama) turned around and repeated the same thing. Now the Governor of Nevada and the Mayor of Las Vegas have pretty much told Obama he is not welcome. The mayor went as far as to say that he will do everything possible to run Obama out of town. He even said that Obama must be “A Real Slow Learner”.
This has infuriated the people of Nevada and the law makers. This doesn’t get any better really.
Don’t know why, but I am finding some great humor in this whole story.
Obama is just doing what all politicians do, including politicians in Nevada; Obama is helping out his home town folks in Chicago, because Las Vegas took a lot of conventions away from Chicago during the past decade. Obama is trying to portray Las Vegas as a place where the only thing that goes on is people gambling and drinking. Recent polls have shown that less than half of all visitors in Las Vegas do not gamble. Las Vegas is the number one city in the world for conventions, with over 20,000 business meetings, trade shows, and conventions annually. Conventions in draw big crowds because it IS way more fun than Chicago.
Thanks for the input.
I just find the whole think humorous. And I love the Mayors comments.
I have a co-worker that is always taking his family to Vegas and I guarantee that neither he nor his wife is drinking or gambling. There are a lot of people that just like to go out there.
