President Obama stuck his foot deeply in his mouth when he criticized Las Vegas for a second time this year.
“You don’t go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage,” he said at a New Hampshire town hall. “You don’t blow a bunch of cash in Vegas when you’re trying to save for college. You prioritize. You make tough choices. And it’s time your government did the same.”
Colorful Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman did not take kindly to the President’s remarks.
“I guess you’ve all seen the president’s remarks or read about the president’s remarks. Well, I’ve got some remarks of my own. I was back in Washington, D.C. about two weeks ago, going up and down the halls of the capitol telling people about our economy here, trying to get them to be sympathetic to what we’re trying to accomplish, then I have to read what President Obama said.
“He has a real psychological hang up about the entertainment capitol of the world. An apology won’t be acceptable this time, I don’t know where his vendetta comes from but we’re not going to let him make his bones by lambasting Las Vegas, that’s why (the press) is here today.
“He didn’t learn his lesson the first time, but when he hurt our economy by his ill conceived rhetoric, we didn’t think it would happen again, but now that it has I want to assure you, when he comes I’ll do everything I can to give him the boot back to Washington and to visit his failures back there.
“I gotta tell you this, everybody says I shouldn’t say it, but I gotta tell you the way it is. This president is a real slow learner.”
Or in the words of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, the President is a f@cking retard.
