My INSIGHT on President Obama's Vegas Comments....

As we remember, the first time President Obama made negative comments towards Vegas he caught some flack. However this time I think it WAS PURPOSEFUL. This is what he said EXACTLY..

During a town hall meeting Tuesday in New Hampshire, Obama said: “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. You prioritize. You make tough choices. And it’s time your government did the same.”

Now, President Obama is 100% correct in his comments and in terms of how one should be sound fiscally. However, I BELIEVE that he snuck in the Vegas remark as PAYBACK to Sen. HARRY REID for his comments that were revealed in the scathing book recently. When he used the term NEGRO in reference to President Obama. Anyone who follows politics surely knows that Sen. Reid already faces a very tough re-election campaign. Prez Obama is accutely aware of this. He has however, chosen to "sneak attack" Harry Reid, Under the GUISE of SAYING SOMETHING POSITIVE, the same way Harry Reid acted like he was in 1864 when referring to President Obama as a NEGRO (in 2010) UNDER THE GUISE OF SAYING SOMETHING POSITIVE..

“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."

 

 

Not only is Obama discouraging people to go to Las Vegas,he is hurting the boating industry ..don't buy a boat ..and why do people have to save for college?       I thought Obama money was paying for that by massive expansion of Pell Grants (35B) and College Tax Credits............

Reid was right (finally) about something,  "This President is a slow learner".

Does anyone actually believe that these words will stop any of us gambling degenerates from going to Vegas?  I sure as shit am not cancelling my April trip. (my 4th in the last 14 months)

If Pres.Obama's Vegas comment was intentional then, that would make Obama two faced and a hypocrite .........  Obama issued a statement,accepting Reid's apology "without question". ..saying "This is a good man who has always been on the right side of history,"

I'm wondering why the lack of outrage from boat manufacturers?

Maybe because they're more understanding/reasonable & less quick to condemn & judge than some of the folks here who look for anything to jump on Obama about?

What he said was just casual common sense & true - why is it contrued as an attack on Vegas or boat peeps? Crazy shit

Obama only called out the boat buyers once and boat manufacturers don't have an Oscar Goodman..

But check out the yachting magazines next month.

 I don't think his comments should be taken literally. I'm sure he meant any rv in general......

THE REASON WHY WE JUMP ON OBAMA IS THAT I DONT NEED SOMEONE TELLING ME HOW TO SPEND MY MONEY.. WHEN HE HASNT DONE A DAMM THING IN A YEAR EXCEPT TAKE VACATIONS AND TRAVEL ON THE AMERICAN TAX PAYER. I LIVE IN NEVADA AND WE NEED TOURIST MONEY. MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE SAID DONT GO TO CHICAGO COZ THE CRIME AND MURDER RATE IS HIGH.
