TUESDAY OPEN THREAD
This comes under the you-just-can’t-make-this-stuff-up category: Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman said he is going to do all that he can to give the President the boot, in 2012. Apparently, Mr. Obama’s common-sense advice regarding personal finances offended the mayor. The President told high school kids in New Hampshire, “You don’t blow a bunch of cash on VEGAS when you’re trying to save for college. You prioritize. You make tough choices.” That would seem like sound advice for youngsters and adults, but apparently not for his honor the mayor.
