    Gibbons requests meeting with Obama in Las Vegas (4-7-09)

    Gov. Jim Gibbons said today that President Obama has denied his request to meet with him in Las Vegas later this month.

    The governor had sent the president a letter last month saying he wanted to discuss the economic difficulties facing the state's tourism industry. Gibbons said today that he was notified Obama won't meet with him while the president is in Las Vegas on May 26 for a fundraiser for Sen. Harry Reid.

    "I am disappointed at the hypocrisy shown by this administration," Gibbons said in a prepared statement. "President Obama is coming to Las Vegas later this month for a political fundraiser, but he will not help the struggling families in Las Vegas and Nevada who are out of work because of his reckless comments."

    Gibbons is referring to comments Obama made earlier this year regarding business trips to Las Vegas by companies receiving federal bailout money.

    "This is politics, pure and simple, President Obama stood for change, but all he has done is brought negative economic change to Nevada," Gibbons said.

    Just another example of how Barack's speaking without thinking has hurt people. Another example is when he made a joke comparing his poor bowling skills to that of the mentally handicapped Special Olympians. :rolleyes:

    Well, zero corporate visits to Las Vegas because Glorious Leader Obama doesn't want tax dollars going to waste DOES beat zero corporate visits to Las Vegas because the entire financial sector collapsed.

    He meant that he was going to put more $5's and $10's in circulation to stem the flow of $20's.....we must give the president more time if such change is what we demand.

    Just cause he denied/canceled a visit, hes a bad President?? It just looks like another made up story from Obama haters. Obama has accomplished more than Bush did in his first year. And whats up with accusing Obama for this economy failure? This economy was already in **** hole before Obama came to office and if u have any knowledge then u should know the real reasons for this fallen economy starting from the 1990's.

    Why would Obama (or any popular pol) appear with a member of the opposition party who has a an approval rating in the 20's, a messy divorce with allegations of affairs, and a penchant for saying really stupid things? It can only damage you and help the other guy. Obama is many things, but stupid he is not.

    Zero corporate visits to Las Vegas even though your division had nothing to do with the financial sector collapse.

    Unlimited air miles courtesy of Tax Payer to Glorious Leader's empty plane while taking $130K bribe from said company AFTER the financial sector collapse.

    Don't look now, but the dollar is near its weakest point of the year and oil inventories moved down sharply at the last reading... Oil prices have crept above $60... It's just starting, people -- Obama's reckless policies will take some time to cause their damage, but it's only a matter of time.
