Hold Your Nose, A Big Stink Is Coming Our Way
I think the vast majority of Las Vegans will have the same feeling when Obama is in town as Old Biff does in this video.
From the Las Vegas Sun: President Barack Obama will visit Las Vegas next week, on a five-stop swing through the West and Midwest.
Obama will be arriving in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Jan. 25 and stay overnight, departing on Thursday, Jan. 26. No further details about the trip were immediately available, except that the president’s visit — like Vice President Joe Biden’s visit to Reno’s Galena High School on Thursday to talk about college affordability — is official White House business.
The two trips bookend the Nevada Democratic Caucuses this Saturday. While the vice president and president’s stops in the Silver State are not officially part of the 2012 reelection campaign effort, the high-profile visits are likely to drum up Democratic enthusiasm just before the Republican presidential field arrives in Nevada for the GOP caucuses on Feb. 4. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2012/jan/18/president-obama-visit-las-vegas-next-week/
When Obama comes to visit, it costs Las Vegans money. It will cost to the have Metro and NHP protect the President and his entourage. Businesses are shut down; businesses like tourist helicopters who will be grounded from the time Obama arrives until he leaves and that will cost those businesses over $100,000. Obama will stay at City Center and not stray too much further from there and certainly not to a poor area of town, like MLK and Bonanza. What money will Obama bring in to Las Vegas?
Any bets if Crybaby Reid shows up in Nevada those 2 days and leaves the the beautiful confines of the Washington D.C. Ritz Carlton? I say no, he stays in Washington D.C. After all, if Harry won't leave the Senate for his wife who is very sick, why would he visit stinking Nevada to see the president?
