Well go one step further. Why didn't Obama just apologize instead ?
No apology..an invite to the WH instead ?
Obama is the one in the wrong here..President or not. He's trashed Las Vegas more than a few times publically.
But now he is in Nevada campaigning for one of his main men, Dirty Harry Reid, and I wonder if the people of Las Vegas are going to be proud of him. I would think that Reid would have begged him to stay in DC since him being out there may cost Reid votes next fall and he can't afford to lose any of them.
Moving along, the POTUS went out of his way to do more damage to an already devastated tourist destination. I am sure many of those people who are now without homes voted him into office believing in his hope and change. Didn't work out so well for them. Maybe we should blame Bush for making Obama say stupid things.
I am pretty sure that Joe "Mouth" Biden will get around to blaming Bush for that one.
I think you must be very tired because what you reference is a police state.
and, ... without government protecting us from ourselves we would have no speed limits... we could all drive as fast as we wanted and under the influence of whatever intoxicants that we might choose without fear of penalty...
No. It's not a police state. Laws and rules are necessary to protect us from ourselves.
1984 was just a book. President Obama is not the boogeyman.
Our government is not planning to take over your life... and, it's not trying to kill us all with herpes, either... (as another poster believes)
and, finally,... getting back to the topic of this thread....
IMHO, President Obama owe's NO ONE an apology for his statements about gambling.
It wasn't an executive order. It was a comment.
good night

The Mayor of a city known for gambling, prostitution and organized crime doesn't choose to welcome the POTUS to his city because the President has told Americans not to gamble away their kids college funds... and that makes the President a bad leader.
I can't even believe some of the comments that I read in this thread.
Did you know that Obama tried that tack once and the mayor called him on it and the other day he did it again. The mayor owes that man nothing, especially his company.

Obama owes the people of Las Vegas an apology. If he was targeting gambling specifically he would have told people to stay away from all locations that offer gambling. He seems to have a bug up his behind about Las Vegas.

If I were President Obama, I would not lose sleep over it.
I would say he doesn't give a rat's ass what some whack jobs on a message board say, but after that IRS thing that happened earlier, I'd say arrest 'em all.
If I were President Obama, I would not lose sleep over it.
Who cares?
The formerly employed people of Las Vegas care. Many of them have lost their homes. I would not expect someone of such low character as Barry Obama to lose sleep over the misery he has created for so many who voted him into the Presidency.
People everywhere are hurting financially and apparently you think he should encourage people to run to Las Vegas and gamble with whatever money they still have?
yeah, right.
