Ouch! Nevada’s Governor Gibbons slammed Barack Obama after the president singled out Las Vegas again today in a jobs speech in New Hampshire.
Las Vegas Now reported:
In a statement issued by Governor Gibbons he said he was stunned that President Obama was so thoughtless and heartless with his recent remarks about Las Vegas. Governor Gibbons said, “Doesn’t President Obama know that thousands of families in Las Vegas are suffering because of his failed economic policies?”
Governor also said that “His comments are disgraceful and he should immediately apologize to the working families of Las Vegas.” Governor Gibbons plans to write a letter to President Obama asking him to temper his comments about Las Vegas.
US Representative Dean Heller (R-NV) was also upset with the president’s irresponsible comments.
Lahontan reported:
“This is not the first time the President has found Las Vegas to be a convenient political punch-line. At the same time the President tells people not to come to Las Vegas, he has no problems coming to our state to raise money.
“Getting our tourism industry up and running should be a priority for the President. Nevada has one of the most distressed economies in the country and the President has done little to focus on job creation over the past year. Discouraging people from coming to our state to make a political point adds insult to injury.”

I thought that was O’barmy’s hallmark.

Obummer doesn’t need Las Vegas — he can party every night at the WH on the taxpayers’ money.

Jim commented:
Obama is every bit the radical nut job the talk radio people said he was during the campaign.
Obama sees Las Vegas as a pile of money just waiting to be pillaged by the government.
In Obama’s world view, if people have enough money to spend time in Vegas, they have enough money to pay higher taxes to support his wealth redistribution schemes.
His contempt for America is getting harder and harder to hide and cover up.

DITTO!!!
In fact, he’s irate that he’s being “called on it.”
Like Rush says, “he doesn’t have any clueless professor giving him A for C work.”

Personally, I think he is really just jealous of the Las Vegas dancing girls costumes. He knows he wouldn’t look as good wearing them!
neomom commented:
Didn’t Obama win Nevada? Elections have consequences. How’s that hopeychangy thing working for you? That’s OK, stew in it for awhile. You can slow it down in November and fix it in 2012.

Of course he knows. And he doesn’t give a hoot, especially if it will help tank the economy.
stupidama commented:
This president is like having a criminal live in ones house.
17% no work in middle America — it’s all the policies of this failure in office, Barack

i agree, Obama couldn’t care less..
but what intrigues me is why these people wait
until Obama attacks them before they speak out..
i mean, if a presidents policies are failing
constituents, you let it be known.. right??
to be fair though, it’s not the first time Gibbons has responded to an Obama attack only to be ignored by the pleading for bipartisanship president yet once again.. /sarc
