He is the president is he not? He cant tell them they shouldnt go. He can tell a company they cant go, He can tell a ceo how much they can earn, He can tell a car company the type of cars they need to make , He can tell us what kinda light bulb we have to have, He can tell us what we need to get the temp of our house. but he cant tell a gov agency that is deeply in debt to not waste our tax dollars after he told the companies they cant go to vegas on our tax dollars.
He's not the dad. He's not the king. He's not emperor. No, he CAN'T tell them that they can't go, when the money has been budgeted and the trip has been planned. He can cajole them into saving money, and when the budget comes around he can try to persuade Congress to limit spending on such things, but he can't snap his fingers and cancel an SSA conference.
And when enacting new legislation, like TARP, Congress can make the help contingent on reasonable CEO pay, and Congress can make automaker bailouts contingent on conditions as they see fit. Obama can sign the legislation or not, and he can use his bully pulpit, but he's NOT dictating to the companies what they can and cannot do.
And he has not told anyone what kind of light bulb they have to have, or what temperature to keep the house. You're just making stuff up now.
Just because something is in a budget doesnt mean they have to spend it. I mean how dare the gov save some of our money.
No, "they" don't have to spend it. But that's not the same thing as insisting that Obama could have gone over their budget with a red pen and changed the chicken buffet to beans and rice instead.
Apparently you didn't read the article....besides their meetings:
The administrator said in an interview this meeting was needed to show the managers how to destress and relax since they are under soooo much pressure at work.

oh but he is to limit how much a ceo an american citizen can earn. Tell me what president has told a citizen how much they can earn before
You act like he cant fire someone for not doing as he says lol
Really he hasnt changed the standard of light bulbs? Yes he did tell us what temp we should keep our house. He even wants in the cap and trade bill that we have to have certain windows and such to be able to sell our house the energy efficent that he wishes
yet he cant tell the head of the social security office look put this conference off till a later date.

Why cant he. Hes doing it for american citizens and the companies they work for. So its ok for us but not them.

He DIDNT tell them they cant go! Is English difficult? It was rhetorical. If he'd meant it as some kind of threat he would have spent time following up, cutting off their funding or whatever.

Barack Hussein Obama is very scary, isnt he?
In February, Obama said companies receiving taxpayer money "can’t get corporate jets, you can’t go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayer’s dime.”
“People are telling me that they’re not coming to Las Vegas because the president doesn’t want them to,” Mayor Oscar B. Goodman told the New York Times. Goodman at first demanded an apology from the White House, Obama's Las Vegas Remark Inflames Industry | BNET Travel Blog | BNET
Now wanna tell me again he didnt tell them they cant go to vegas for the conference on tax payers time.
Maybe he said you can go but only if you get a 400.00 room for 85.00. Maybe he really meant you can go iffffff
