I definitely don't miss George W. Bush.

I don't have an opinion about W as a president, but I bet he'd be a lot more fun to hang out with than Mr. Nanny.

I think things are only going to get worse under Obama, much worse than they ever were under Bush. Don't get me wrong, I am no Bush fan, but I think this presidency will be far worse than the previous one.

He was drinking Bud Light, which is now majority owned by a foreign country. Damn you to hell Obama!

I hardly think Obama was referring to business conventions. But since you mentioned it, Mandelay Bay is hardly cheap. The company I worked for in 05 sent about 1200 sales reps there for a week....Manhattan Buckeye wrote: "This is petty."
This should headline every comment, it IS petty. Some people voted for Obama, some didn't. In my opinion his comments about Las Vegas are weird and is indicative how someone can go to Ivy league schools and still be an ignoramus. For those of us that live and work in the real world, Las Vegas is obviously an attractive place for large conferences, the hotels are incredibly cheap, the weather is typically warm and sunny so you don't have to worry about travel issues, and you have ample space for whatever convention is being sponsored. Obama has likely never lived in the "real world" but we knew (or should have known) that when he was elected. Of all things to gripe about, this is simply petty. We're looking at some big time issues here, this shouldn't be an issue.
My guess...the cost was over 3 million dollars.
The week long "sales meeting" involved a dosage change to a drug. Not a new drug, but a new dosing strength. Could have and should have been handled by the internet.
But that's a subject for a different thread.
