This is hilarious... he says something that everyone regardless of political stripe would understand. YOU NEED A BUDGET and that budget needs to be PRIORITY BASED! Ie: don't buy a boat when you can't pay the mortgage or don't go gamble with your kids tuition funds and people come out screaming.
I LOVE the senator's response "let Americans decide where to spend their hard earned vacation dollars". Sure, cuz the solution to debt is more debt 
Politicians are just stupid... Priceless.

Vegas full of homeless people as it is, they dont really care much as long as they get the $.
Makes sense to me.
If you're in debt, don't gamble.
lol I have an uncle that heads to Vega$ with his pension check in hopes that he'll double it.
He actually won $600 a month ago, but he wouldn't realize his err when we asked him how many trips it took him to 'win' that $600.
He was impressed that he broke even that weekend as well.
I can't get him to give me any of it either. I told him I'd kick him in the nuts for every $100 he passed my way.
No dice.

clearly obama wasn't thinking of the out of work prostitutes in vegas, who are working oh so hard to try to find someone willing to pay for sex :
why can't that guy keep his mouth shut
the market crashes every time his opens his trap
people are beginning to wish we had Bush back!
Well at least one person certainly is! 
I wonder if you saw, and heard, Bush standing next to Bill Clinton, trying to speak about Haiti. I say trying to speak because it is clear the guy is no public speaker. I almost feel sorry for him at times like that, but I really can't understand why anyone would bring up Obama's verbal gaffes in the context of George W Bush.
Obama with a concussion would sound better, and make more sense than Dubya on his best day.
We appreciate Mr. Gramps accolades. It is tougher than anyone would ever expect to set up teleprompters at places never designed for them, like elementary schools, and maintain a brigade of speechwriters in contact at all times by satellite phone from the bunker.
teleprompters at an elementary school .. Obama is a communicating genius

He wasn't using a teleprompter when he showed up the Republican retreat last week...

OK, seriously, as much as I dislike the guy, he clearly wasn't putting down Las Vegas. In fact, I agree with him, in a backhanded way he was actually giving it a compliment. This isn't news, it's just ridiculous.
