Barack Obama, the hardest working man in show business (just ask him), will spend three days and two nights this week in Las Vegas, a city he has bashed repeatedly as a place to not waste precious dollars visiting.
Obama will attend a fundraiser for Sen. Harry Reid, but has only one official function planned for his early Vegas weekend.
According to KVVU-TV, the White House released Obama's travel plans today:
White House officials said Air Force One would arrive Thursday, but Obama would not make any public appearances until Friday at the UNLV campus.
He is scheduled to leave Las Vegas Saturday.
KVVU reported Obama will give a speech at UNLV on Friday. There is a report on Twitter the speech will be on the economy.
Earlier on Thursday, Obama will stop in Missouri for a propaganda appearance about the economy and a fundraiser for Democrat Senate candidate Robin Carnahan.
According to The Hill, Obama will headline a fundraiser for Harry Reid Thursday night.
The AP notes that the trip is scheduled in way that makes taxpayers responsible for most of the cost of Obama's trip:
Pairing an official event with a political appearance lets the White House bill taxpayers rather than Carnahan's campaign for most of the president's travel costs.
The same holds true for the Vegas part of the trip.
should be a good opportunity for Barry to empty the mini bars and restock the black gym bag
Since the Obamaloon is “happening” in Vegas, can we hope that he “stays in Vegas”.
Given his “abilities,” he could vend porn at the local street corner...if (and only if) he’s got a teleprompter to help him with the more intricate sexual terms.
He loves his time off, doesn’t he? Travel, see the world on the taxpayer’s tab.
Another Frickin’ vacation.
Barack Obama James Brown, the hardest working man in show business...would be a much better President...
Wow, Mr. Skittles goes to Vegas. This should be entertaining.
Friggin’ unbelievable!!!!!!!!
I thought he didn’t want people spending money in Vegas?
First legal male prostitute compares himself to Rosa Parks
There are no coincidences....
This time of the year in Vegas the locals and the tourists
both stink-Harry Reid
Bad Girl! LOL
They have some nice Courses there as well as some great SEIU/ACRIME officials.
Pray for America
I wish he and his troop of thieves and liberal dweebs would stay on vacation long enough to let responsible adults move in, and take over.
Barry should take a good look at the two casinos near the Wynn-Encore complex. Across the street from them stands the framework of a casino that has stood without walls for over a year. The exposed steel is rusting.
Just north of the Encore, across the street from Circus-Circus, is a casino (Fontainebleau) that stopped construction after over $5 BILLION was spent on the 90% windowed building.
These casinos are Obama’s legacy. After PRESIDENT OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS engaged in political attacks on Las Vegas, the construction STOPPED. I doubt that the city will back him or Harry Reid.
I hope the Mayor of Las Vegas tells Obummer that he has to provide 100% of his own support including police protection as the city is unable to afford to do so in large part because of Obummer’s bad-mouthing of the city.
He didn't want companies spending their money in Vegas. He has no problems spending your money in Vegas, naturally.
