President Obama is coming to visit Las Vegas on Monday. Shelly Berkley says she cannot make it to Las Vegas becasue she cannot miss any votes. Except there are no votes on Monday, October 24, the day of the president's visit.
From the LVRJ: Rep. Shelley Berkley, D-Nev., also will be a no-show, aides said. After spending the past week on recess in Nevada, she planned to return to Washington so as not to miss House votes, they said. http://www.lvrj.com/news/obama-to-talk-american-jobs-act-in-las-vegas-132335173.html
