Why Can't You Practice Your Debate At Camp David?

From the LVRJ: For Grand Canyon helicopter tour operator Nigel Turner, there's no debate about President Barack Obama's three-day visit to Southern Nevada.
"We lost a lot of money," he said, estimating that his Heli USA Airways lost $60,000 each day the president slept at Lake Las Vegas.Grand Canyon helicopter tour companies such as Turner's face flight restrictions whenever a president comes to the area. Typically those restrictions ground their helicopters for a matter of hours and sometimes overnight.
But this week's presidential visit was the longest stay by a sitting president in Southern Nevada. Obama spent the time in the crucial swing state preparing for Wednesday's debate with Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
"Why couldn't he have gone to Camp David to research for his debate?" Turner said.....
 Turner objected to the plan, which allowed private aircraft, but not his helicopters, to fly within a 30-mile radius of Lake Las Vegas. He also objected to running operations out of Jean, citing worries about safety with having so many helicopters flying in and out of the rarely used airport on unfamiliar flight routes to the Grand Canyon.
Turner chose to shut down Las Vegas operations instead of risking the safety of his crews and customers, he said.
"It would be devastating, not only to our industry but for the whole town, if we had a fatal crash so Obama could practice for his speech," Turner said.
The other seven tour companies have been flying from Jean. Messages left with several of those companies were not returned by deadline.
Turner said his business takes a hit whenever a president comes to town, and potential customers are left with bad memories. The flight restrictions especially hurt business from international tourists, who usually don't have time to rearrange their itineraries to reschedule a tour of the Grand Canyon, he said.  http://www.lvrj.com/news/obama-s-three-day-stay-pinches-pockets-of-helicopter-tour-operators-172391071.html
Obama says he cares about small business but he has cost helicopter companies, a large part of business of on the Strip hundreds of thousands of dollars this year.
But they are part of the 1%, aren't they?
