Obama and the Dems just lost Nevada

the right should have kept their mouth shut on the vegas subject.

FYI This isn't coming from the right. It's Democrats and Independants.


Goodman, an Independent who left the Democratic Party, was similarly steamed a year ago when Obama said in a speech that Wall Street bankers receiving bailout money should not take trips to Las Vegas "on the taxpayers' dime."

The mayor was not the only Nevada official to fire away at the president yesterday. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and the entire congressional delegation sent word to the White House that tourism is the struggling city's lifeblood, and rebukes from the commander-in-chief won't help bring the local economy back from the recession.

I think that's what the mayor meant when he said Obama was a slow learner.
