Dem. Mayor Wants Apology From Obama

Take It Back

(Fox News) - The mayor of Las Vegas wants an apology from President Obama. Monday the president said companies receiving federal bailout money shouldn't visit Sin City.

“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."

Fellow Democrat Oscar Goodman responds, "That's outrageous... He owes us a retraction. What's a better place, as I say, than for them to come here? And to change their mind and to go someplace else and to cancel and at the suggestion of the president of the United States — that's outrageous."
