    Mayor Goodman of Las Vegas Says He Will Give Obama the Boot Back to Washington

    By peone  |  Posted February 8, 2010  |  Little Rock, Arkansas
     

    Here is the video of the news cast that shows our president telling people that they shouldn't go to Las Vegas and spend their money right now and Las Vegas' Mayor, Oscar Goodman's response.

    This issue is of special interest to me because I used to live there and have friends there today.  For those of you who don't know, the economy of Las Vegas is based on tourism.  So, if america heeds the words of our president, what are the people of Las Vegas to do?  If no one comes, many people will be left without work ?  Las Vegas is already reeling from the housing bubble mess...I believe the forclosure rate was higher there than anywhere else.

     

    Do you think it is fair for our president to negatively single out any american city?
