Obama Hurts Vegas With Visits

Share
While he tells other people to avoid trips to Las Vegas, the President will take another vacationette in Las Vegas. However, the purpose of his visit will not be one in the interest of the people who live here. He won't be here to encourage people to visit, to shop, to relocate their businesses here or buy homes. Instead, he will tell select invitees to lavish dinners and exorbitant country clubs just how great Harry Reid has been for Nevada. That is an expressly repugnant notion to me.

When Obama arrives, he will upset the normal flow of commerce and cost us money. Air Force One's arrival will delay all other flight arrivals, which will cost the airlines and airport money and annoy all the people on those planes who don't know why they're being delayed. Wherever the president travels, it will require police escorts, blocked roads, and special guards, all at the expense of the city he visits. He will not spend ANY money here. We will give him golf, a hotel room, casino chips, food, and transportation complimentary, or in other words, at the expense of the people who live and work here. Then he will hold banquets that raise funds for Reid's reelection and then leave. Most of the people who live here will be relieved when he is gone.

The president should stay out of town and encourage OTHER people to come here, because every time he comes, he exacerbates our economic plight and serves only Senator Reid.
