Obama should apologize

So, now he thinks he can tell people WHERE the should and should NOT go?   :confused:

The mayor of Las Vegas should piss up a rope.  I don't think companies should be paying for trips to anywhere with taxpayer money, especially not somewhere associated with over-indulgence.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

i agree, but the pres should, nip it all in the bud....but not say where they 'can or cannot' go....if I was the mayor, I would be pissed.....what if the pres would start telling ALL gov employees cannot skydive? or eat Lobster, or own German Shepards?

The exact quote was (my emphasis added)
"You can't get corporate jets, you can't go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayer's dime," Obama said.

He is absolutely correct if he "would start telling ALL gov employees cannot skydive? or eat Lobster, or own German Shepards" on MY TAX MONEY!

That is part of the past problem!!  There was no one to have balls enough to question the ethical decisions of taking week long romps in the Caribbean for "business" or buying extravagant Lear jets.  I'm glad someone with some authority is asking the logic in this since the average person would not get answers to them!!   
Take time to smell the roses.

 Don't forget that some diplomatic travel is necessary, so is travel for training and to the scene of a disaster or to move troops here or there.

Shepard is the name of the first American in space; don't know if his ancestory was German or not.

If you read Obama's statement, Las Vegas is simply used as an example so your argument that he is trying to tell anyone where he/she can or can't go is ridiculous.

I'm hypocritical?  First you criticize Obama for saying that execs should not be taking trips to Las Vegas on the taxpayers' dime and now you think you should be able to tell the president where he can take trips?  Serious WTF?  Just more of your partisan douche-baggery as far as I'm concerned.
