Wynn CEO Goes On Epic Anti-Obama Rant On Company Conference Call
Business Insider ^ | Jul. 18, 2011 | Joe Weisenthal

Posted on 07/18/2011 5:21:14 PM PDT by CharlyFord

Who doesn't love a good rant? We certainly do,

I believe in Las Vegas. I think its best days are ahead of it. But I'm afraid to do anything in the current political environment in the United States. You watch television and see what's going on on this debt ceiling issue.

And I'm saying it bluntly, that this administration is the greatest wet blanket to business, and progress and job creation in my lifetime. Well, my customers and the companies that provide the vitality for the hospitality and restaurant industry, in the United States of America, they are frightened of this administration. And it makes you slow down and not invest your money. Everybody complains about how much money is on the side in America.

The guy keeps making speeches about redistribution and maybe we ought to do something to businesses that don't invest, their holding too much money. We haven't heard that kind of talk except from pure socialists. Everybody's afraid of the government and there's no need soft peddling it, it's the truth. It is the truth. And that's true of Democratic businessman and Republican businessman, and I am a Democratic businessman and I support Harry Reid. I support Democrats and Republicans. And I'm telling you that the business community in this company is frightened to death of the weird political philosophy of the President of the United States. And until he's gone, everybody's going to be sitting on their thumbs.

He who insults the Dear Leader will receive a visit from the Ministry of Love. Stevie the Democrat is about to become the new Goldberg.

Wait, he says he hates Obama, yet supports that maggot Harry Reid??

Isn’t that a little like saying he hates the Devil, yet supports Beelzebub?

All Wynn has done is create billions of dollars of private sector value and hundreds of thousands of jobs. What does he know compared to the incredible brilliance of Obama? Remember Obama was a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER and is pure of the taint of creating even a penny of evil private sector wealth. /s

Wynn is right - Obama is KILLING the private sector. I think it’s on purpose, but am willing to consider breathtaking economic and real world ignorance as an alternative or additional cause.

He says he supports Harry Reid because Harry Reid has a strangle hold on gambling in Nevada - Wynn’s bread and butter.

Yet he supports Harry Reid. Sort of like saying “Socialism is ruining the country but I support socialism!”

“I support Harry Reid.”

Then sit down and shut up.

Harry Reid is merely the current actor playing the part of the mob-connected Senator from the Godfather. He brings home the bacon to Las Vegas and Wynn is one of the pigs at the trough.

He is right of course about Obama.

The point of the post I would think would be to show Obama's supporters are starting to leave. Wynn supported him, won't again. I choose to celebrate this victory. Not a good time to run down one of America's biggest job creators. He has credibility.

Shocking:

I saw an amazing TV broadcast of this guy —he’s pretty charismatic, and for a liberal just bursting with common sense. The really amazing thing he emphasized is that it’s EASIER to do biz with CHINESE COMMIES than with Obama.

And while he was impassioned, he is a pretty experienced, articulate guy.

Somehow, coming from this guy I really believed it. I’m OK with this guy —I could really break bread with him.

Wynn was raised in a Jewish family in the Northeast. These days it seems he is a democrat more out of habit and family tradition than anything else.

Also, if you want to be a Las Vegas developer, it definitely pays to have connections in both parties.

The basics of writing. Who? What? When? Where?

If you choose to excerpt, you still need all of that.

Besides, B.I. blog doesn’t need to be excerpted anyway, but that’s another story.

Context, please.

STEVE WYNN "I'm telling you that the business community is frightened to death of the weird political philosophy of the President of the United States. And until he's gone, everybody's going to be sitting on their thumbs."

We gotta get that on a tee shirt.
