Off topic and diversionary.

Why should the mayor meet with him. He publicly singles out his city for ridicule. If Obama wants to lecture people on spending he should start with Congress and his own administration in the White House. Both the legislature and the excutive branches are acting like the French monarchy just before the revolution. Feasting and spending a fortune while increasing taxes on the population as they starve in the streets.

You'll notice that not once did I single out Democrats on the legislature. Members of both parties are guilty of this free wheeling spending spree.

Not everyone - not even a lot - but you think there aren't any people stupid enough to do just that?

Please provide links to direct quotes of the President telling people to "stay away" from Vegas.

Maybe the mayor is just following Obama's lead...didn't the Prez refuse to meet with Fox News (and only Fox News) on "Obama Sunday" a few months back because they were picking on him? Why yes, I believe he did. So I'm sure Obama understands this particular brand of "whine".

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.

Cause Obama only apologizes to our enemies.

Going back to Vegas soon if i could find the Mayor I would shake his hand. Vegas is an American Jewel.

Neither the president, or I said everyone.

"......when times are tough, you tighten your belts......you don't go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage......you don't blow a bunch of cash in Vegas when you're trying to save for college..........”


If times are not tough for you, freely go and blow your cash, in Vegas, Reno or even Detroit.

We're already on the fence about a move to Wyoming in the next 1-2 years. If NV does that, they're guaranteed to lose at least six residents because of it, and I'm sure we're not the only one's that'd go. Texas and Florida also have no income tax, as well as Wyoming and a few others, and retirees don't need to worry about the job market where they choose to live...
