What Happens in Vegas: Barack Obama Visits Henderson, NV

Image from source, Las Vegas Review-Journal

After having "trashed" Las Vegas a couple of times in the past, President Barack Obama is visiting today. Or rather, he's visiting one of our few official suburbs, Henderson (we have lots of regions, but only a couple suburbs). And I put "trashed" in quotes because what the President actually said about Las Vegas was absolutely true. It's just not usually acknowledged (surely not by politicians) that Vegas is all about wasting people's money.

I didn't go to Obama's event today though. I've got rather a full slate today (DMV, surgery), and I've already seen him twice (once at a very early-in-the-race health care event, once at a very-late-in-the-race rally). Still, the dude gives a great speech, so I'm sure it was well received. Unless you're Oscar Goodman, or anybody vying to replace Shelley Berkley, Dina Titus or Harry Reid.
