Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman blasted President Obama after his attacks on his city. The outspoken mayor said, “I’ll do everything I can to give him the boot back to Washington.”
Mayor Goodman says an apology won’t be acceptable this time.
Obama will be campaigning with unpopular Senator Harry Reid in Las Vegas later this month.
KTNV reported:
Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman had some harsh words for President Obama Tuesday. Here’s what he had to say hours after the President remarked that people who are trying to save money shouldn’t go to Vegas.
“I guess you’ve all seen the president’s remarks or read about the president’s remarks, well I’ve got some remarks of my own. I was back in Washington, D.C. about two weeks ago, going up and down the halls of the capitol telling people about our economy here, trying to get them to be sympathetic to what we’re trying to accomplish, then I have to read what President Obama said.
“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.”
More… Opaobie added:
We know Obama never was a Boy Scout, but at least they know not to take a dump…TWICE… right where they plan to pitch their tents.
Is it time for another beer summit?
Still more… Franco added this:
If Obama was in Vegas with the national treasury he’d put a billion on a long shot on “the big wheel” and tell us he’s saving money by eating at the buffet.

LOL! Don’t hold back, Mayor Oscar Goodman. Tell us how you really feel. LOL!
February 3rd, 2010 | 12:59 am | #2
We know Obama never was a Boy Scout, but at least they know not to take a dump…TWICE… right where they plan to pitch their tents. Maybe he’s trying to torpedo Hapless Harry Reid’s reelection chances because Reid has failed to ram his Master’s agenda through the Senate. Prez “Zero” has zero tolerance for failure of his minions.

Ha! I wish we could kick him all the way back to Kenya! Thanks Mayor Goodman! You just said what millions of us are thinking! Obama won’t be bowing to you like he did to the Tampa mayor. Ha! Keep up the good work Mr. Mayor! We love it!

Might have been my video card or my Flash player acting up, but the last part of the Mayor’s comments sounded something like “….and the Jackass he rode up on….”
February 3rd, 2010 | 1:33 am | #7
Makes me want to patronize Vegas even more!
Obama is a fool. He proves it over and over. His supporters are fools. They prove it by supporting him. Obama’s inexperience shines through when he makes stupid statements like the ones he made about Las Vegas. He NEVER should have been elected president!

Remember, Las Vegas is one of the cities on the al Qaeda hit list. Obama, Osama – I don’t see much of a difference.
February 3rd, 2010 | 2:17 am | #9
Redwine beat me to it. #8.
Knowing Las Vegas is on the hit list, BO talks stink about it to win favor with them.
He made sure he protected one of their own, the underwear bomber.
Heard Laura Ingraham say tonight on her show that Napolitano didn’t show up for a hearing on the handling of that incident and went instead to some inconsequential meeting. UNbelievable.
Probably worse than driving our economy to the brink of destruction is this administration’s lack of seriousness – that’s as generously as I can put it – about our physical safety.
This crowd has got to go.

Obama complaining about people blowing their wad in Vegas?
Just want does he think he is doing with taxpayers money with his budgets?
Folks, we are in unchartered waters here. No one in the mainstream media has the nerve to say it, but this President is every bit the radical nut job people in talk radio said he was. After 1 year there is no doubt about it.
Who does he think he is trying to fool? It’s beyond arrogance now, he’s just insulting everyone’s intelligence now with the except of the kool-aid drinking libs on the left that attend his rallies.
February 3rd, 2010 | 2:50 am | #12
Oscar Goodman is the best mayor. We all love him. He wanted to talk to Obama after his last nasty remarks about Vegas. However, Obama refused to meet with him. Figures!
If you want to have a great time, eat fabulous food and play loose slots–try Vegas. Thousands of workers will thank you for your patronage.

Ouch! That was good! Did you notice the code “make his bones” and how he emphasized those words? Moe Green and Hyman Roth are long gone from Vegas but somehow I suspect their legacy remains.
February 3rd, 2010 | 4:34 am | #16
And the clip of Obama with that insipid lecturing, and disingenuous to boot. What a freaking liar!
If Obama was in Vegas with the national treasury he’d put a billion on a long shot on “the big wheel” and tell us he’s saving money by eating at the buffet.

That will work.

“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.”
Judging from the comments regarding Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts from Liberal pundits and Congress, the entire Democrat Party is even slower. “More ObamaCare, not less!”
Great rallying cry, Libtards. Keep that up until November.

Let’s look at the bright side.
Obama stumped for Deeds in Virginia, Corzine in New Jersey and Coakley in Massachusetts. Hopefully, he will be equally effective for Reid in Nevada.

I’ve thought for a while the O would throw one person too many under the bus and he would get turned on in a vicious way. Seeing as how he certainly doomed Reid with these remarks, or he thought Reid was already doomed and he just nailed the coffin shut, I wouldn’t be surprised if Harry gives us some goods on the O. He’ll be gone in November anyway, so let’s start hearing the stories. Maybe he can actually do something constructive before he leaves office!
Either Obama is incredibly stupid or indescribably vindictive to make such remarks about Las Vegas. Guess it was Harry’s fault Brown won Massachusetts and Health Care Control got stalled.
February 3rd, 2010 | 8:45 am | #32
I’m glad someone finally says what is so obvious about Obama…the BO is just not very bright, some would even say he needs to take the short bus to school!

I don’t know what took them so long. The Vegas folks should have sat down Harry Reid a LONG time ago and set him straight.
Isn’t this a coincidence? Europe cools on Obama and now Vegas?

Given that the mayor is white, who wants to hazard a guess of how long it will take for the race card to be thrown onto the table when Harry Reid loses?
“It wasn’t Reid and Obama who lost, it was those racists in Las Vegas who voted against Reid and the Bush administration.”

February 3rd, 2010 | 9:27 am | #37
Bwahahahahaha! That’s hilarious; I guess Obama is going to have to punish the Mayor now and Las Vegas for his ’slow learner’ remark, being that Obama thinks of himself as King of America. Poor Reid; I hope he knows how to hold his breath….not.
February 3rd, 2010 | 9:34 am | #38
Congratulations to the mayor of Las Vegas for calling out the Blowhard-in-Chief. It says a lot that Obama’s remarks came at yet another phoney town-hall meeting, where a preselected audience of useful idiots is herded together to worship their empty-suit messiah. Stalin used to pose for pictures showing him reading to groups of adoring school children. We’ve already seen the Blowhard reading to a class of 6th graders, but those teleprompters ruined the effect.
Bad leaders need good propaganda.

Is Harry Reid’s “Layoff Las Vegas” response to Obama, unfortunate phrasing in a recession? Or is it what Reid knows Obama’s economic policies will literally create: more layoffs.

I Repeat: Part XXIIII+
Obama is not “a slow learner”
Obama is not stupid.
Obama is not an idiot.
Obama is not “not understanding things”.
Obama is doing all this with foresight, purpose, planning, and willfull intent. Destroying America while enriching his Marxist friends is his GOAL, and most of what he says and does that appear to be “gaffes” are calculated moves toward that end.
The sooner people realize that the Democrats in charge ARE NOT STUPID, BUT EVIL AND SUBTIL AS SERPENTS, the sooner we can actually begin taking our nation back.
I see the same thing with bloggers re: the MSM. They are LYING ON PURPOSE, and 99% of bloggers even on the right keep talking about how STUPID they are.
Really? So stupid, that they convinced more than half a nation that God isn’t real, that Repubs are the historically “racist” of the two major parties here, that AGW is the biggest threat to humanity and Islam is peaceful, that GW Bush and Cheney were evil money-stealing criminals AND THAT OBAMA AND HIS ENTIRE ADMIN is not.
The STUPID media and Democrats have convinced the lion’s share of America’s citizens that ALL THAT IS FALSE IS TRUE, and that all that is true is false.
Quit saying that.
“Democrats are Stupid and Clueless”
ranks right up there with
“We Beat Communism!”
in the most asinine, NAIVE comments I read each and every day at 20 different high-profile rightwing blogs.
No they are not. And no we did not. All it takes to realize that I’m right is to THINK for a damn minute. Quit ascribing idiocy to the evil that is currently destroying our nation.
February 3rd, 2010 | 10:54 am | #42
slow learner is right, he thinks he´s so smart he doesnt have to listen or reserve comment.
he is a prime example of someone who is ¨över educated¨
he made it so far up because it was done in a blitzkrieg. if he had been vetted, if he had been on the political seen longer his unsuitability for the office would have been aparent.
what a vindictive tin ear.
February 3rd, 2010 | 10:54 am | #43
I wonder if perhaps Obama’s comment about Las Vegas was an underhanded way of making sure Reid isn’t electe for whatever reason. It isn’t like Obama doesn’t have a czar or two waiting in the wings to be part of his oligarchy ruling ‘elite’.
