The Mayor of Vegas is not amused
Oscar Goodman,the mayor of Las Vegas,is turning down an invitation to meet with President Obama.
As KTNV reports,Goodman said he has "other things to do quite frankly for my constituents here in Las Vegas who rely on me to do the right thing as a mayor."
Mr. Obama is heading to Las Vegas Thursday for a private fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee. On Friday,he will remain in the city for an economic town hall and speech to the city’s chamber of commerce.
Goodman,an independent who used to be a Democrat,has been a harsh critic of Mr. Obama in the wake of the president’s two comments urging Americans not to waste money in Las Vegas.
"When times are tough,you tighten your belts,"the president said during a February town hall meeting in Nashua,New Hampshire. "You don’t go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don’t blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you’re trying to save for college."
Hope more people stand up to "OOO"until he flat out QUITS/ resigns OUT OF THERE PERIOD.

Was thrilled to hear you say you'd give Obama the BOOT when he comes to Las Vagas. I wish more like you would do the same and tell that so and so where to go. He's an enemy of this country,that is obvious. He's doing everything within the power of the Presidency to destroy our economy and everything else. He hates…America. We need to impeach this man before he finishes the job.

GOOD JOB MAYOR,keep up the good work and continue to stand up against this tyrannical President. We love you!
obama,even Vegas thinks your ACT stinks !! You are no longer wanted anywhere.
Thank you Mayor for standing up against obama and not letting him in your Presence he did not deserve to be in your Presence. We Love you and appreciate you keep on standing for what is right and obama is not right he is evil very evil
You're right,Thomas –Obama STINKS! I can smell him from here. He needs to go away –really far away. We don't need his socialist government. Anyone who voted for him was foolish.
Mr.Mayor:Kudos for you. Thank you for standing up for to this PResident.
This President is an enemy of this country. We need to gather all information
about his background and then i mpeach him. In the 2010 elections if
the Reps. play their cards right and when the house and the senate,then
and maybe then we can get this man out. He is the ENEMY WITHIN.

Ya know,I believe Obie is the enemy just as much as everyone here. But I think he actually spoke some truth here in that statement. You don't go blow your paycheck on casinos,boats and other frivolous crap with things the way they are today. Almost sounds like something Reagan would say. Which is scarry to me. I say spot on Obie. Now,just don't let the door hit your tail on the way out of office.
Good for the mayor. Our federal government no longer cares about the the US or her citizens. It's going to be up to the state and local governments to pick up the slack. This guy is setting a great example!
