The last time Obama made negative comments about Vegas, our city lost several conventions and lots of people lost their jobs as a result!

YouTube - Rush Holt Rips Microphone from Constituent’s Hand.
While the President, Pelosi, and other Progressive Dems say that they are willing to listen to ideas, their actions show that’s not the case. They are shutting out debate and discussion as they desperately try to ram their agenda through.
New Jersey Representative Rush Holt grabbed the microphone away from a constituent who questioned Obamacare. Rhoda Chodesh, a New Jersey resident, wanted clarification to her question which Holt was trying to skirt around.
Chodesh, who appeared today on Neil Cavuto, said that she originally comes from Canada and has seen problems associated with government-run healthcare.

Fox is reporting that Democrat Martha Coakley has conceded the election to Republican Scott Brown in the special election for the senate seat vacated by the late Ted Kennedy.
In what has been viewed as a national referendum on Obama’s agenda and predictive of the 2010 mid-term elections, Brown gained points in the final days of the campaign.
The results are especially indicative because this Senate seat has not been occupied by a Republican in 58 years, until now.
The AP, according to Fox News, is now declaring Brown the winner.

What Happens to Health Care Reform if a Republican Wins in Massachusetts? – Greta Van Susteren | On The Record With Greta – FOXNews.com.
Greta did an in-depth inquiry, last night, into how the Dems may try to shove Obamacare through on the sly in the event that the Republican wins in Massachusetts. The fact, as her guest pointed out, that Harry Reid and his party are still even thinking about ways to pass this monstrosity is indicative of how out of touch the Democrats are and why they should all be voted out!
This Massachusetts seat was a given for the Democrats – in their control for 58 years! – and that it is now up for grabs is proof that Americans, including those in “blue” states, are unhappy with the current set of lawmakers. Voters have numerous concerns about Democrat Martha Coakley, but the main issue, according to polls and interviews, is a protest against and refusal of how the Democrats have handled healthcare reform.
Even if Republican Scott Brown loses today, Democrats in the House and Senate should take heed if they care about keeping their seats. Instead of caving into pressure from the White House and special interests, they should open up to what the voters, their employers, want, if they want to keep their jobs!

The special election in Massachusetts is turning out to be a referendum on Obamacare and the Democrats’ agenda. Possibly predictive of catastrophic failure in the mid-term and beyond, the Republican Scott Brown is now leading Democrat Martha Coakley by as many as 5 points according to some polls.
The seat held by the late Ted Kennedy was thought to be a given for the Democrats but missteps by Coakley as well as rejection of the massively expensive healthcare bill – a 2,000-plus page monster which would require every American to purchase a private insurance policy (a legislative first and possibly unconstitutional) – have put the election up for grabs.
The Senate seat has not been in Republican hands since 1952.

Governor Jim Gibbons (R – Nevada) is considering opting his state out of the Medicaid system if Obamacare passes. Nevada, like other states, is looking at exorbitant costs if the current health care bill becomes law because many lower income families will be shifted to Medicaid. In Nevada’s case, Obamacare is expected to cost that state’s taxpayers $636 million when Federal subsidies expire after 2014, according to the Las Vegas Sun.
If Nevada opts out of Medicaid, the majority of the state’s poor and lower income will be eligible for Federal subsidies to purchase private health care.
Wary of health care reform, Gibbons weighs rejecting federal Medicaid funds – Friday, Jan. 15, 2010 | 2 a.m. – Las Vegas Sun
