Las Vegas Mayor Goodman rejects Obama invitation
KNTV ^ | FEBRUARY 17, 2010

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) - 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.

Mayor Goodman has more important things like attend budget meetings during a major shortfall than meet with President Barack Obama when he visits Las Vegas Friday, even though he's invited by the White House.

"Were you surprised to get that invitation in light of comments you've made before and your opinion on him and what he says," asked Action News reporter Heather Klein.

The Republicans should do the same for the ‘show’ that Obama has set up on 2/25...

Not many people have the cajones to openly dis big O. Rahm has probably dispatched some union thugs to break Goodman’s legs.

Ya know. It's a good thing this isn't the Clinton gang in office. The Las Vegas mayor could find himself in respiratory arrest in a park.

This guy is a least nominally a Democrat, too. He sure isn’t a Republican.

Yup, Goodman’s got some cajones. On the other hand, being Mayor of Vegas, he probably has a few goodfellas working for him too. This could get interesting.

Oh I’d Love to Be an Oscar Goodman Winner
That is What I’d Truly Like to Be...ee...ee

For if I were an Oscar Goodman Winner
I’d stiff Obama and he’d get wee-weed
