MORE obamanation deflection.... trying to get our eye off the ball with this flimsy stuff..... how dumb do they think we are?:????

if this is the best that obamanation can come up with in his “wasn't me” crap, then he is pathetic..

we see it for what it is.... smoke and shadows.. Let's talk about the birth certificate, murder, the hidden records, the trillion dollar deficit... the ridicule of America throughout the world since obamanation and finally, the “muslims are my best friend” obamanation rhetoric.

“BLAME BUSH strikes again.”

And I suppose this supposed memo is stapled to o’dumbos birth certificate — So, we will never see either of them — Sound about right, I’m just saying...what are the odds.

Nice Harry, blame the Blacklisting on the white guy and credit the black guy with Whitelisting. In the world of Obama everything is the opposite of the reality.

They were still blaming Hoover in 1937... 5 years later.

They were still blaming Hoover in 1960.

BLAME BUSH strikes again.

It's all they got now.

It's all they ever had and now that train has left the station.

Naw.....

I would rather blame those who are responsible for MOST of this mess - the democrats.

NO. This was the first I’d heard it.

That’s why I would like to see the memos. Reid could be lying. He held up 50 pages of papers but says he has only two emails and memos.

Does not matter. Bush will be vilified like never before in the next year and every republican will be linked to him. It's a side distraction by the MSN to keep Obama and his socialist policies as a side note.

Yo, Senator Rectum, how did President Bush's ban on taxpayer funding of embryonic stem cell research get CHANGED?

How did President Bush's policy of holding detainess at Camp Delta in Guantanamo get CHANGED?

How did President Bush's policy of wearing men's jeans get CHANGED?

they still blame hoover today....

the recession might have been his fault but the Depression falls squarely on the shoulders of FDR. Just like Obama is trying his damnedest to make a new depression so he can, he feels, have dictatorial powers...

Well why didn’t Obama overturn that policy then since he overturned Bush’s ban on taxpayer funded abortions overseas. Seems to me this would have been easy to overturn and Reid looks like the whiner he is.

The wheels in Vegas know where the grease comes from. Obama derided it and told companies to stop going. Vegas is hurting and that coalition of dum-bass freaks in power are completely responsible. I expect his numbers to plunge.

Reid said the policy came from the Bush administration.

How many people really believe this?

Reid is a fool, pushing a simply implausible proposition.

I do not understand why there is a problem about the government travel restrictions to resort destinations like Las Vegas.

People are losing their jobs, homes and still trying to feed their families and these morons are concerned about THEIR trip to resorts.

The current squatter soiling the Whitehouse takes his wife for a $250,000.00 diner date rent a $25,000,000.00 vacation home and the morons we elect try to shove medical insurance tht is a bottomless money pit with people sitting at desks in windowless office telling what we can and cannot have as coverage while exempting them selves from this death trap.

Their whining is just so unreal I am at a loss for words.

Just stay where you are and do your job.

Yea thats correct, earn your money by actually WORKING.

"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," Obama said.


Obama family leases a $20 million dollar farm for summer vacation

The White House says the Obama family will spend the last weekend of August at Martha's Vineyard.

Reid must think his constituents are idiots.

It was Obama that chastised *private* businesses for going to Vegas for their conventions. The bulk of Vegas’ business has always been *private* businesses having conventions there, not government conventions and it was Obama who told them the days of doing that were over.

See here:

and here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceoY1h5SYkQ&feature=related

Don’t let Reid get away with this. This is just a deflection from the real issues which are:

1) Obama is killing the economy.
2) People have less to spend so they are not going to Vegas to spend it.
3) Obama called out businesses for holding conventions in Vegas.

They want you to believe Bush is responsible. I was in Vegas on Election Night and Vegas was still bustling then.
