Obama's quote was simply stupid. Why not pick on Disney, Gulf coast or any on the thousands of places Americans go to legally relax. Or perhaps this is the extent of the dems education plan - stay away from Vegas.
In 8 years Bush didn't do as much wacky damage as this guy. . . .
The Mayor of Las Vegas essentially tells the President to go to hell after the POTUS makes some derogatory remarks about Las Vegas (this was the second time).
Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) - Mayor Oscar Goodman has refused an invitation to meet with President Obama when he arrives in town on Thursday. Mayor Goodman called President Obama a slow learner after he told Americans not to blow money on a weekend in Las Vegas if they were saving to put their kids through college.
"I've got other things to do quite frankly for my constituents here in Las Vegas who rely on me to do the right thing as a mayor," explained Mayor Goodman.

The Mayor should have respect for the office even if he is rightly peeved at Obama. He should meet with the President and, in a respectful way, ask him "why are you in a place you told other people not to come to?".
I disagree
the mayor has every right to be peeved at Obama, he knows it, we know it, and Obama knows it,
we are big kids, we can handle the prez being snubbed
By declining he is telling the Teabaggers he is on their side. It's all politics.
You'll notice he was offended that Pres. Obama told people to not go to Vegas and waste their money in a slot machine.
Damn good advice.
We KNOW hussein obama is on the teabaggers (<---gay sex act) side Now if he will just be on the side of the Taxed Enough Already protesters .
