Ah, we can't go to Vegas because it costs money, but he can because he's doing it on OUR dimes. Got it. Man, this guy has his foot so far in his mouth he's hit kneecap.

ETA: Linked story in second paragraph has error, as you probably noticed. Speech today was in Nashua, NH, not Las Vegas.

I’m sure Harry appreciates the help. Hee-hee!

Obama’s Lavish Night In Las Vegas

[Rennes Templar]

“I was making the simple point that families use vacation dollars, not college tuition money, to have fun.”

You lie. You were telling people not to spend money on vacations.

In your speech you said:

“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.”

[RatsDawg]

Hey Obama, you and your cronies need to worry more about the spending in DC NOT Vegas!

[flutters]

LMBO What a buffoon!

[Miss Didi]

HE DID IT AGAIN: 'YOU DON'T BLOW A BUNCH OF CASH IN VEGAS'

[eeevil conservative]

LOL!!!

so— where was the teleprompter when he said this?

[pandoraou812]

Do we know where 0 got the money to go to college? Did he save it up or was it given to him or is it another he isn't telling us thing?

[BigLittle]

Hey Boss, 5'll get ya ten they'll mis-constrew what ya said about Vegas.

[hondact200]

Hey O get your head out of your backside. Lately you keep your fly open in order to speak. Moron.

[the anti-mahdi]

Obama is frighteningly stupid, immature, ill-bred, coreless, banal, uninteresting, phony, petty, whiny, effeminate, weak, vindictive, silly, unserious, shallow, and thoughtless.

I could go on but I won’t. The usurper is a criminal fraud and he will be exposed to all who have a brain, the rest of America will continue to ooh and ahh over this creep and his incredibly ignorant affirmative action criminal princess wife.

“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.”

Yes, the only one allowed to "blow" our money (and our children's and grand childrens's money) is HIM. He knows best how to blow it for us, then demand more after he's done blowing it.

Fed.gov can't pay its own mortage, yet he lectures everyone on managing money after he puts out a budget where he wants to "blow" over 3 TRILLION dollars.
