Great video! It is no great surprise that Obama has had it in for Las Vegas since the 2008 caucus. The local unions sprinted to Clinton's side and left Obama in the dust and now he's using his bully pulpit to not only get a small measure of revenge against union workers but upon Las Vegas itself. His policies have not positively affected Las Vegas nor Nevada in the slightest way and I think we all would be well-served to recall that In 2012.
I'm glad there's someone pointing out the real, phyiscal, and economic hardship felt by residents of the Las Vegas Valley. Our gaming and tourism industries support so much of the businesses (medicine, service, you name it) in our region. Anyone ignorant enough to believe that Vegas has no other work outside of gaming is just that: ignorant.
@drilleman: Come on. How surprising. Someone insinuating Republicans are racist for disliking President Obama. Classy.
President Obama OWNS this economy. It is his. It has been two years. We have long passed the 8% unemployment mark he promised we wouldn't reach. His big government solutions dont work.Here in LV unemployment is double and near triple that 8% in some sectors.
@srasorge: Republicans have a clear solution. Free up the markets, restore confidence, reduce the crushing debt.
@docholly: No we wouldnt want them spending it in casinos but is it good leadership to tell people where they should be tourists at? We are a tourism city and state! It was careless and he did it TWICE! Especially callous because we are number 1 in the nation for unemployment! Is TARP REALLY all you can come up with? THAT'S our biggest problem? Not the massive spending and three wars?
"Obama is not the problem" ??? WTF??? If we had a Republican president, we wouldn't even be having this discussion. If H. Clinton or any other democrat had won, I seriously doubt we would be having this conversation either.
srasorge- that's complete bs. Obama isn't moderating anything. The Dem's had control of both houses and the white house for 2 years and didn't do anything except spend money. No budget, did nothing to attack spending. Both Reid and Obama voted against debt limit increase when Bush asked for it, now they want a blank check without any accountability. You are no more a Republican than I am a Democrat. At least be honest yourself, because your party leaders won't be.
Such selective commentary.. STOP blaming Obama. @ Unlv..would you really want parents to spend their children's college fund in a casino here? really? or the TARP money started by that idiot GWB and cheney? I'm also a Republican for 38 years.. and i'm so disgusted with this party I'd quit except there is really not alternative. I would think that academia or at least someone who claims to be from academia would be better than the garbage you just posted.
I'm a Republican and disagree with the message being sent on the video. Obama is not the problem. Has anyone been watching the news? NO ONE, on both sides, can decide on what to do financially. Obama is pretty much mediating between the Republicans and the Democrats. Both sides can't comprise on anything. and BTW, the Republican party is NOT perfect and Nor are the Democrats. The Republican party is not the "cure all." In my opinion, we need to stop blaming Obama and blame the issues them self.
