Obama plans Las Vegas getaway to help Harry Reid get big money

Harry Reid's no slouch in the fundraising department, with $3.3 million already on hand for next year's reelection campaign, which has thus far drawn lots of press too. And no viable opponent from the state's battered Republican Party.

Now Happy Harry's bringing in Bette. And Sheryl. And some guy named Barack.

All in the name of Money.

And what better way for a new Democratic administration to symbolize cutting out excess in a time of hardship for millions of Americans than to hold a mega-fundraiser in Las Vegas, that urban personification of understatement, for a guy with millions in hand already and no one to spend it against?

Since he is the head of the Senate he shouldn’t need Obama to fund raise for him? Things must not be good for Reid?

Obama must have no faith in Reid’s ability to win votes with a good record in the Senate and his personal charisma.

Go figure!
