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."

Of course, Obama just raised the debt ceiling and will be going on another stimulus spending binge.
I read that even Dingy Harry told him to knock it off...
Has he noticed Mobama’s 600 dollar shoes and 2,500 dollar coats, etc...?
wudda loved to see Dingy Harris expression..
I hope this hurts Harry Reid.
Oh, did he give Nancy Pelosi a lecture about her flights?
That man/boy is beyond belief!
I recall someone comparing him to the guy that just won the pie eating contest saying he was dieting.
Isn’t he going on a vacation soon to Indonesia?
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.
The Muslim Messiah is ensuring that Reid is burnt TOAST in Nevada. Marvelous!!!
Can’t take it much longer. . .
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.
Oh, silly me. You only have to budget when it's your own money...not when you're spending someone else's.
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.
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!
