Besides pandering this class-warfare crap by suggesting he is readying a bill to prevent companies receiving stimulus money from holding meetings and conventions?
First, the President vilifies Vegas. Now John Kerry jumps on the bandwagon to protect the sensibilities of the "working class" by wanting to slap the wrists of companies that are providing stimulus to communities across the country by spending money in the hospitality industry.
I know how good it looks on the evening news, guys...but how many tens of thousands of jobs will be affected by the fallout of your actions, pushing the economic crisis even deeper?
How 'bout agreeing to the Travel Industry's recently suggested Travel Policy Guidelines...and quit grandstanding? Please?
Morgan Stanley just announced that they will not be attending or entertaining clients at our PGA tournament in Dublin -- a major hit to our hotels and economy. So much for the stimulus plan?!
