I just emailed the mayor of Las Vegas

[EmeraldCityGrl]

Told him if the president wasn't welcome there than neither is my money.

1. good for you. Hope he gets a lot of blowback for his remarks.

[timeforpeace]

2. What did he say?

[EmeraldCityGrl]

4. He said tell timeforpeace Democrats are

easy to mess with because they lay down and take repug crap without a whimper.

6. Oh, he refused to meet with Obama and slammed him again. Then Obama hands out $1.5billion. Didn't

take his own advice, huh?

3. The president has said you are not supposed to go there anyway.

Three different times now. Even after being one of the top Senators to receive gambling money as contributions and getting Nevada's electoral votes because of his margin in Las Vegas. http://www.lvrj.com/news/12785077.html

5. He's right. And if he took their money, good for him. they've been stealing

hard working Americans money for years.

7. Fine and when he loses Nevada and possibly a close election in 2012

I am sure you will be happy then too.

8. Cutting off your nose to spite your face is a time-honored tradition for some.

9. He'll lose NV. due to failing to create jobs, the inability to

curb foreclosures, decreasing benefits from SS and medicare for the large retirement population living there,
failure to pass healthcare reform, not from a few casual comments advising Americans to be cautious with their
money.

10. I agree with you about the jobs part for sure.

But the point is that jobs will be lost if people paid attention to his remarks. I don't think it is the job of the President to nanny us about our money and try and pick winners and losers in our economy.

11. I get your point but, a common sense comment has been blown

out of proportion. Obama doesn't always speak like a politician, something I like about him.
We expect our politicians to be politically correct even if they're lying to us. I'd rather he be
truthful even if it means he isn't always PC.
