Obama says don't blow money in Las Vegas
Yesterday I wrote about Sarah Palin getting all bent out of shape over nothing. Now a whole state is doing the exact same thing. It's so childish I just had to roll my eyes. People are just really fishing for reasons to be mad at the president. Really, y'all, it's not cute anymore. It's infuriating.
So while delivering a speech in New Hampshire a couple weeks ago, Obama said "You don’t blow a bunch of cash in Vegas when you’re trying to save in college." this exact statement is the root of all the hard feelings among the Nevadans. The New York Times reports that today they are feeling better, a little, because Obama said he was happy to hear that some dude was spending money in Las Vegas.
Brace yourselves, Las Vegas
If residents of Las Vegas didn't like what Obama said about them, they are certainly not going to like what I have to say here. You can come up with more than a 101 awful things to say about Las Vegas. It's a place where payday advances are handed out for gambling purposes. Here's what I think of when I think about Las Vegas: Prostitution. Gambling. Rapid nuptials.What is there really good to say about Las Vegas other than it's an all-out party town? Isn't Las Vegas aware of this already? Why are they getting all upset? Why am I upset over what they're all upset about? Because I am sick and tired of people finding the most ridiculous, minuscule reasons to criticize the president. It's unAmerican!
Things will change with time
Throughout history, the former presidents that are most beloved now were highly disliked during their time. Abraham Lincoln was so hated he was assassinated. It seems the president is always hated by someone. Everyone seemed to hate George W. Bush and now everyone is hating on Obama. However, I still think that 20, 30 years from now people will look back on President Barack Obama with deep respect and admiration.
