Obama Changes His Mind About Las Vegas

President says "it's good to be back in Vegas" three months after he made a different remark about the city which angered local government officials.

LAS VEGAS (Fox News) - President Obama seems to have changed his mind about Las Vegas.

"It is good to be back in Vegas," he told democratic supporters Tuesday night at a fundraiser for Nevada Senator Harry Reid. "Everyone should have a piece of the Las Vegas dream and the American dream," he continued.

His comments come three months after he made a different remark about the city which angered local government officials even hours before Obama was due to land in their home state.
