I understand that the whole class warfare thing is important to mobilizing your base. But, I thought the travel industry had explained how damaging your comments last year were to the economy of Las Vegas.
But, I guess not...because you did it again this week in a speech in New Hampshire.
I didn't hear people begrudge your holiday in Hawaii. Please refrain from suggesting that we commoners shouldn't have the same right to enjoy our holidays because we should be saving our money.
Besides...you said in your State of the Union message that jobs and the economy are your top priority. It's time to stop picking on a destination and an industry that are vital to your stated goals.
Glad to hear that the mayor of Las Vegas called him out on this one. CBS Radio's Charles Osgood put out a great piece on this (montage of sound bites) yesterday.
