I’m not sure I’ve seen a sitting president do more to purposely lose a state he won handily in the last election.
Well, not since Richard Nixon said, “Go f*** yourself, Idaho!”

Nothing that can’t be smoothed over with a little bit of pork (aka the “other white meat” which, it should be noted, is just as handily dispensed by those of the lighter-skinned persuasion who are able to adopt a “non-negro” dialect)
President Obama may have accepted Senator Reid’s apology, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t up for a little pay-back. The old saying goes, “No one forgets WHERE they buried the hatchet.”
Besides, Las Vegas is a center of capitalism where lots of money changes hands; where personal fortunes are made every day; and where people achieve success through their abilities and creativity – and not by Ivy League degrees. Obama can’t stand the place.
Tin ear.
But next “Date night” will be in Las Vegas — trying to patch things up.
We would know for sure their was no birth certificate if he had said the same using Hawaii as an example instead.
RBJ, I have a feeling “date night” in Vegas might do him more harm than good as the TFR over McCarren will virtually shut down the airspace for 30 miles around it, and the Strip is only about a mile from the airport, keeping paying customers from arriving. General Aviation will certainly be grounded/excluded and commercial traffic will be affected too.
But Brother J, people should be happy to make sacrifices for our Dear Liar.
hate to say, but I agree with Obama on this one. Lost Wages is a terrible place and an embarrassment.
Now that Harry Reid has killed Yucca Mountain, guess what? He’s asking Obama for help keeping JOBS there – for other purposes, of course.
Just the pork, please!
Fortunes are made? By abilities and creativity? Vegas? It’s the place where dolts go when they think they’re going to strike it rich. Yeah, some people make money, but Obama’s comment was about people who go to Vegas and bet the rent and mortgage money and lose. And there are a lot of them, which is why Vegas can pay the light bills.
If Vegas gets its panties in a wad for being called out as a place where people gamble away a lot of money, then Arizona should become a bedwetting state for getting called warm and Colorado should cry hysterically if someone says they’re mountainous. If this is what counts for a controversy these days, then this country is fucking retarded!
oh that nixon ! ‘he’ just made me shoot beer through my nose with that comment. quite a rush.
