LAS VEGAS -- Mayor Oscar Goodman has a bone to pick with President Barack Obama after he suggested people shouldn't spend their college savings on a trip to Las Vegas.
On Tuesday, during a town hall meeting in New Hampshire, Obama was trying to make a point that the federal government needs to watch their spending the same way American families do. But he used Las Vegas as an example, for the second time.
You dont go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You dont go blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you're trying to save for college, Obama said.

“slow learner” is a honky code word...

I want the president to straighten this out. If not, hes not welcome in my city, as far as Im concerned, Goodman said. Depends on how low he is willing to bow to you mayor Oscar! FYI...older male caucasians are low on his caste scale.

This is dangerous behavior on the president’s part. Dangerous because the president of the republic should be debasing American political jurisdictions.
It also shows that Mr. Obama is smug, self-absorbed, and still regards himself as the smartest guy in the room.
The truly remarkable angle to his crashing presidency is this: There are still people in America who buy into what Mr. Obama says.
Now those people are really, really stupid. Not ignorant, stupid. Big difference.

"You dont go blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you're trying to save for college, What he should say the next time: "You don't go blow part of your cash every week on North Carolina's Democrat-sponsored 'Education Lottery' when you're taking tax money to feed your family."
There, that should do!
Probably would hear from the Democrat Governor on that one, because that's the poor man's tax she relies on for "education."

Rush Limbaugh just played Goodman’s comments on his radio show. He said that Obama can’t apologize a second time, and that if he shows up in Vegas he will be shown the door so he can return to Washington and clean up the messes he’s making!
Somehow I don’t think the MSM will be reporting this. Is the CBS Evening News still on? I don’t think I’ve watched it since...I dunno, sometime in the 1980s?

Okay, fair is fair. I listened to the comments this morning on the radio (RUSH) when Obama made the statements. He was very cynical to talk about fiscal responsibility given his track record. But his comment about Vegas was not as off base as many are putting it. He used the word as a synonym for gambling. No one dislikes Obama more than me but on this one I will give him a pass. Rush made a big deal out of it and it WASN'T a big deal. This one makes us (conservatives and Obama opponents) look silly.

OblahMao shows such chutzpah! He goes off on expensive vacations (Hawaii, etc..) spends oodles of taxpayer funds and then lectures Americans how to spend their money as he extorts even more of it from taxes and big government spending. His words and actions ARE the Great Divide!
