Las Vegas Mayor: Obama Not Welcome Here

The Chicago Sun-Times reports on Obama's negative comments about Las Vegas:

Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman said during a hastily called news conference that Obama is no friend to Las Vegas and would not be welcomed here if he visits.

“I’ll do everything I can to give him the boot,” Goodman said. “This president is a real slow learner.”

Goodman and others are worried that Obama’s words will discourage visitors from coming to Las Vegas and depress the industry further.

“Enough is enough!” Democratic Congresswoman Shelley Berkley said in a statement. “President Obama needs to stop picking on Las Vegas and he needs to let Americans decide for themselves how and where to spend their hard-earned vacation dollars.”
