Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman has a very busy schedule. After all, the city has a budget deficit, and even after that, Goodman has to bolster tourism to keep the local economy running, and Vegas has had some setbacks on that front. Goodman doesn’t have time for frivolities … like accepting a meeting with the President of the United States on his next visit:
Mayor Oscar Goodman has refused an invitation to meet with President Obama when he arrives in town on Thursday. Mayor Goodman called President Obama a slow learner after he told Americans not to blow money on a weekend in Las Vegas if they were saving to put their kids through college.
“I’ve got other things to do quite frankly for my constituents here in Las Vegas who rely on me to do the right thing as a mayor,” explained Mayor Goodman. … “I haven’t heard an apology, I haven’t heard a response, all I do is get invitations,” Goodman went on to say.

I can’t imagine Oscar will snub The Kenyan. He’ll at least fart in his general direction.
Good for him.
I would be careful Mayor Goldman. I would not want an “accident” to happen to you.
Obama will attend an SEIU rally at the local unemployment
office!
Wasn’t Vegas always a neutral zone for the mob? Maybe by meeting with Obama the other organized crime gangs will be slighted.
Good for the mayor. ozero didn’t single out Atlantic City or any other town where gambling is legal. He has done real damage to the biggest industry in Vegas. The mayor should put up billboards up all over town with ozero’s and reid’s mugs on them with the message that these two guys brought us this mess. Stick them up along the parade route for the visiting foreigner. Never forget.
Should there be any surprise that a Mayor should choose responsibility over a photo op with the biggest fraud to be elected POTUS?
Let Barry campaign without the appearance of any real business taking place.
Why should the good Mayor allow himself to be used?
Give it a rest.
It’s not Obama’s fault Las Vegas didn’t diversify their economy.
I have no doubt that as Zero’s “reign” continues these dreadful three years, more and more people will forgo the frivolity of meeting the empty suit.
ROTFLMAO
DO you know Oscars history?
AS in Mouthpeaice for the Mob? IF anyone is going to have an “Accident” it ain’t going to be Goldman....
He takes Motrin so Aspirin is not an issue.
maybe not, but i have no problem with this mayor holding obams to account for saying stupid stuff about Las Vegas. Obams so rarely experiences any consequences for his actions, it’s always refreshing to see it happen.
Oh, I can. He is no shrinking violet.
I know his history. You brought up something: who would win in a battle between Zero’s Chicago thugs and the Mob although they are one in the same. hee, hee
diversify economy?
There’s the tables, the slots AKA the sluts, the real sluts, the bars, the shows, the real shows....How diverse could it be?
;~)
The mayor is at least smart enough to read the tea leaves.
He sees politicians all across the country who have embraced The nOne drop like flies. The mayor doesn’t want to get that near the radioactive Zero.
“AS in Mouthpeaice for the Mob? IF anyone is going to have an “Accident” it ain’t going to be Goldman....”
LMFAO!!
Wow! A politician with some ‘nads.
Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman is a CEO who has to deal with very real problems and cannot print money
0bama has no such problems. He is free to blow billions to indulging his fantasies such as global warming and trying Kahlid Sheik Muhammad in New York City. 0bama and the Democrats were free to cook up an $800 billion stimulus bill that helped not one private sector worker. Any jobs created or saved went to gov’t employed drones such as school teachers
