Ralston's Token Anti-Liberal Artuicle Spot On

Once in a blue moon, Jon Ralston will put out a token anti-liberal article in the :Las Vegas Sun. In his mind, he thinks this fair, though his ratio of anti-conservative to anti-liberal is about 50-1.
Anyways, he writes about President Obama's visit to Las Vegas: I would love to know what went through President Barack Obama’s mind as he came to the door of Air Force One on Monday morning and looked down at the McCarran International Airport tarmac.
Standing below him was not the usual receiving line of Democratic politicians but a solitary elected official — and one who had abandoned the Democratic Party. As if to add insult to absence, the lone woman’s husband had mercilessly excoriated the president for a couple of years, demanding an apology for remarks he had made about Las Vegas and snubbing him on previous trips.
Somehow, Obama kept his smile as he walked down from the plane and greeted Mayor Carolyn Goodman, who along with her husband, former Mayor Oscar Goodman, had made a big show of switching from Democrat to independent when His Honor was making a big show about pretending to think about running for governor last year. Goodman II, clutching her cellphone in one hand, bent the president’s ear for several minutes — there was no one else for him to talk to — handing the commander in chief a “good luck” chip and asking him to say nice things about Las Vegas.
How the mighty have fallen.
This is what it has come to for the man who created a Nevada wave in 2008, winning the state by 12 percentage points, pulling Democrats up and down the ticket to victory and auguring Harry Reid’s stunning re-election two years later. Obama previously had been greeted by Democrats high and low at the airport, many of them only too eager to shake hands with the president and perhaps ride in the motorcade. Now, the most powerful man in the world is treated like he is arriving on a quarantined plane, a political leper shunned by those who once embraced him — nay, by those he gave political life to just a few years ago.
Obama arrived in a devastated state to present a housing plan that probably won’t help many of those underwater on their homes in the worst economy in the country, only to be greeted by a mayor whose husband he surely despises and who hectored him (once again) about his much-overblown “don’t come to Vegas” remarks. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2011/oct/26/what-happened-obama-vegas/
We already knew that Shelly Berkley lied about being in Washington D.C to vote in the House. There were no votes scheduled when Obama was here.
But where were the other Democrats? How about handicapped parker Steven Horsford? Dina "I am unethical" Titus? How about members of the Clark County Commissioners, all who are Democrats? How about those fools in Occupy Las Vegas? Why didn't they greet their hero, Obama somewhere- outside the airport, by the Bellagio etc?
This speaks volume about how unpopular Obama is and why the Democrats fear the 2012 elections where it is possible that the GOP may be able to pick up at least 2 of 4 House seats and the Senate seat.
Sucks to be a Democrat in Nevada right now.
