"The president will be staying at Caesars Tuesday night and will be hosting a town hall meeting Wednesday at Nellis Air Force Base. President Obama is expected to talk to military families about the stimulus package. The event is not open to the public"Ain't that just like him!
Saw your new post, will respond shortly.

I saw that the other day, and now O'Reilly is on it, cool!
Obama has dissed Las Vegas, but they will still throw money at him.
He is the King of The World!
