I agree with Obama

[Nitehawk013]

Just to show that I am not completely blinded by partisanship and disgust at the Presidents policy, I thought I would post this.

Pres. Obama is under fire from Vegas. Obama said that in this economy, people with responsibilities shouldn't be wasting their money. He siad people shouldn't be out buying boats and ignoring mortgage payments or "blowing their money in Vegas" instead of putting money in a kid's college fund.

Everyone under the sun is jumping him for this. Harry Reid, one of his closest supporters, even rebuked him. GOP'ers are throwing him under the bus for it.

So let me take a rare opportunity to say that I 100% agree with my Pres. in this instance. He is completely right. People need to be more responsible with their money than taking it to Sin City and flushing it down a toilet.

What's so funny is the hypocrisy of his statement. So in this economy people should control wasteful spending and live within their means? Pshaw! Coming from him, Mr. Record Deficit Spending? It really isn't funny, its pathetic.

Typical liberal: only people like him, the elite, the intellectuals should be able to spend everyone else's money and then try to lecture us on how to handle money...

My thoughts exactly.

I agree with what he said but it just didn't go far enough. Stop the waste at the top then people will have more money for their kids college fund. It's always easier to give advice to others.

I love it when BHO tells me how I'm feeling, why I'm angry, how I should spend my money, etc....

Loved the Las Vegas Mayor's response:

"He has a real psychological hang up about the entertainment capitol of the world. An apology won't be acceptable this time, I don't know where his vendetta comes from but we're not going to let him make his bones by lambasting Las Vegas, that's why (the press) is here today.

"He didn't learn his lesson the first time, but when he hurt our economy by his ill conceived rhetoric, we didn't think it would happen again, but now that it has I want to assure you, when he comes I'll do everything I can to give him the boot back to Washington and to visit his failures back there.

"I gotta tell you this, everybody says I shouldn't say it, but I gotta tell you the way it is. This president is a real slow learner."

Nothing like saying you want to kick the President's rear and call him stupid all in one presser!

Well, people do need to be careful with their money however it does FAR more, economically speaking, to spend our OWN money (even at a casino!) then to give it to Obama, Nancy, and Harry.

I actually agree with the criticizers.

The first time, our President made a mistake, an insensitive remark, based on a commonly shared prejudice about Las Vegas.



The 2nd time, it's like he just doesn't care about the folks who he has offended at all.

My buddies Rush and Imus are guilty of this kind of stupidity and arrogance.


It's a rare day that I compare the President of the US to Rush and Imus, but I wholeheartedly agree with the public outrage.

You know, uh, Mr. President, you are going to need Nevada one day-- why create unnecessary enemies, because you can?

Just as sure as you were voted in, you can be voted out.


Respect your fellow Americans, Mr. President.

Your office commends our respect towards you, our citizenship commends your respect towards us. We elected you. NEVADA ELECTED YOU!


Sheesh!



He's completely indefensible on this point because in America, we have the freedom to legally do what I want with our money. If we make bad decisions, it's our responsibility.

If I wanted his advice, I'd ask for it.

This is really my voice, this is not for show.

The President has really irked me over this and I'm not even a resident of Nevada!

They voted for him!!! I didn't even vote for the man!!!!!

[oletime]

who is he to scold anybody on restraint ? and him and his wife are bringing in a stream of gourmet chefs to the white house to satisify their tastes and a whole host of other extravaganzas, just shut up bo.

BTW spending money in Las Vegas helps the economy...

How much did he spend on his recent Hawaiian vacation?

How much does Nasty Nancy spend for her special flights home on weekends?

How much was spent on that "flyover" that caused panic in NY?

How much does BHO spend on flitting around the country and doing his ever present tv ops?
