President Obama Again Criticizes Trips to Las Vegas
Las Vegas Now ^ | 02/02/2010 | NA

Posted on 02/02/2010 7:43:37 PM PST by School of Rational Thought

President Obama is catching heat from Nevada lawmakers and business leaders regarding his comments Tuesday criticizing trips to Las Vegas.

During the president's town hall meeting in Nashua, New Hampshire, he discussed the need to curb spending during tough economic times. "When times are tough, you tighten your belts," the president said. "You don't go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don't blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you're trying to save for college."

Obama is a slow learner and certainly no diplomat.

Of course, Obama just raised the debt ceiling and will be going on another stimulus spending binge.

I really find it hard to believe there are enough people who would actually fall for Obama's act as a fiscal conservative!

I recall someone comparing him to the guy that just won the pie eating contest saying he was dieting.

I have to say, this is looking more like a Muslim speaking. Muslims, especially radical ones, hate gambling. I used to think it was absurd to think he was a Muslim, but he has showed to many traits that might be giving himself away. I just heard him say that he gets “devotionals” from other religions on his Blackberry, and there must be a list a mile long of other stuff like this.

Every Wed night they have a party at the WH. Pelosi is jetting on AF3 drinking Grey Goose. But we need to tighten our belts and pay more taxes.

Forget the vacation; let him just go home to Indonesia. Way past time.

Obama has never cared to 'get it' as to whom it is; he is supposed to serve and support. Meantime; more American's ARE getting it.

heck, the guy goes on vacation for ramadan!

early childhood religious indoctrination (which he certainly got in indonesia) doesn’t go away completely ever.

Isn't this the same guy who just spent two weeks in Hawaii during the "Holiday Break" from Washington?

Oh, silly me. You only have to budget when it's your own money...not when you're spending someone else's.

I see.

It’s OK for Pelosi to use Air Force assets to chauffer her kids and grandkids around on the taxpayers' dime, it’s OK for Obysmal to spend like a drunken sailor and hopelessly indebt future generations, but we shouldn’t go to Vegas and enjoy ourselves for a night or two.

WHAT a maroon.

And no. I didn’t vote for his Kenyan ass, either.

Hey Muslim Usurper,

Why don't you tell Nancy Pelosi to stop using US government jets as a private taxi service for her extended family and a huge airborne complimentary bar for herself?

Times are tight, Nancy is tighter.

Judging by her liquor expenditures.

Cheers!

"President Obama Again Criticizes Trips to Las Vegas"

I could mortgage my home, sell everything else I own, take a year's advance on my salary, borrow all I could from banks, family and friends....then go to Las Vegas and gamble it all away....

But it still would only be a fraction of what obama spent on his Hawaiian vacation - the only difference being, he didn't use his own money.
