Barack Obama

Obama makes the very irresponsible statement:

Why not? There are many conventions there where businesses go to stay up to date with the latest in their field, make partnerships, and find customers. This was seen by many as a message to companies across the nation to stay away from Las Vegas for corporate meetings and conventions.

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority reports over 400 conventions and business meetings scheduled to take place in Las Vegas recently have canceled, translating into 111,800 guests and 250,000 "room-nights". The canceled events cost the Las Vegas economy over $100 million, not including gaming revenue.

BTW... Obama is having a political fundraiser later this month. Where would that be? Las Vegas. What an ass.


In other news, looks like the senate isn't going along with Obama's Ready Fire Aim approach to closing Gitmo. They have denied the closing of Gitmo with a vote of 94-3 LMAO!!! This whole thing has been a complete joke. Early in his presidency, BO says he's going to close the facility. Then they're scratching their heads trying to figure out exactly how this will be done, and where will they put the inmates.

And FYI, we're no longer fighting a Global War on Terror. It's a uhhhh... "overseas contingency operation".
And terrorist attacks are now to be referred to as "man-caused disasters". Is this what they're wasting their time with?
