Obama responds to ire over 2nd anti-Vegas remark:
Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman said during a hastily called news conference that Obama is no friend to Las Vegas and would not be welcomed here if he visits.
“I’ll do everything I can to give him the boot,” Goodman said. “This president is a real slow learner”….
Whatever you do, don’t mention the “r-word.” I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it.
At least he’ll have Sarah Palin on his side now, though. She’ll just have to speak slower when he’s around.
“Aren’t you precocious, Mr. President? Yes you are, yes you are.”
Goodman said he thought Obama had a “psychological hang-up” of using Las Vegas as an example of excessive spending, and that this time, an apology wouldn’t be enough.
“He has to step up right away and say, you know, he wasn’t thinking,” Goodman said. “Sometimes when he’s not using his monitors and reading what he says, he doesn’t think. And this is one of those times he didn’t think, and he should straighten out the record because he’s been here, he knows Las Vegas is a great place.”
Yeah, and if he has any doubt about that, he can just ask Tiger Woods….
