Per Rush:

Steve Wynn Rips President Obama
February 26, 2010
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Steve Wynn, the Las Vegas Steve Wynn, had his company’s fourth quarter financial result conference call yesterday with reporters. And during the Q&A a female reporter said to Steve Wynn,

“Is it too early to say that maybe 2011 would be better, in other words, how do your 2011 bookings versus 2010, or just any comments on the volume of bookings or rate of bookings for 2010 or ‘11 just to get a sense of whether you see any change at all?”

WYNN: There are more questions afoot in this market in America that will impact ‘11 than I have hair on my head, I’m happy to say, and I still have a full head of hair.

I have more pessimism than I’ve had before, and it’s based upon the political environment in which we are living today. And it definitely is impacting Las Vegas. The president of the United States hasn’t missed one single opportunity to squelch Las Vegas.

We get phone calls — and I’m not going to mention the names of the companies — from chairmen who say we don’t want to appear to be profligate because Barack Obama said this or that about Las Vegas.

*snip*

WYNN: It is preposterous that businesses are under attack in the United States of America. Anybody that makes over $250,000 in the form of a personal income tax return is now, by Washington definition, a rich person, when everybody who has got a college degree knows that the personal income tax rate in the United States of America is the business tax of America.

I am disgusted and angry at the apparent ignorance of the administration and the Congress to recognize the fact that the individual tax rate in the United States of America is in fact a business tax of America. And if you keep banging on that, you will destroy the incentive for job formation in the United States of America. And that’s simple truth.

He’s been really steamed about what’s happening to this country .. he may well be seriously considering a run.

[DaxtonBrown]

[Could be but he’s a good business man I think and this country needs that.]

Trust me, his money came from the mob originally. His daddy was just a small time bingo parlor guy.

[REDWOOD99]

Seriously? You’re trying to pin the 9-11 attacks on Perot’s candidacy?

[Carling]

I never said Wynn should be President. I gave some context to why he wanted to move his HQs.

Would you keep your business in a country/city when the President literally says that people should not visit there?

[GeronL]

I don’t think he is a good businessman, he is a showman, a front man and a celebutard

[Sea Parrot]

If you haven’t heard of Steve Wynn, then you really don’t follow politics too closely.

I have heard him speak numerous times. He is very good at that speaking too, his reasoning grabs one by the shirt collar and makes you pay attention. He detests Obama and the other ones who are destroying the country.

[Gene Eric]

I’m not trying to “pin” the attack on Perot’s candidacy.

Without Perot in the race, a Clinton victory was unlikely. Relying on the info portrayed in “The Path to 9-11”, I imagine Bush senior would have handled things differently.

Is that controversial reasoning?

[TheLawyerFormerlyKnownAsAl]

“Who?” Ed Wynn..

Early Wynn.

Yeah, Wynn/Reid 2012

[Texan]

Wynn has complained that America has a “negative business climate". The reason for the move.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

“America: Love it or leave it”.

Anyone who would hesitate about the answer, has no place in presidential consideration.

None.

[OrangeHoof]

I know Steve Wynn wants Obama defeated in the worst way but third-party candidates are going to split the anti-Obama vote and actually help Obama win. Surely Steve Wynn understands this.

My guess is that he’s helping for a Trump Bump in terms of business publicity. That or mob lawyer Harry Reid has promised him something.

[WOSG]

“I assume he’ll be playing “the Perot” to pull Tea Party votes from the Republican nominee.”

Yes, exactly.

A designated vote-splitter so Obama can win reelection with under 50% of the vote.

Businessmen are always the best shills for this since they can self-fund and draw the fiscal cons away from the GOP.

The fix, apparently, is in.

[Darkwolf377]

Wynn’s version is “America, Love it AND Leave It”

[Finalapproach29er]

King of Babylon?

[dixiechick2000]

Yep...

____________________________________________________

Earth to moron. Perot handed Clinton two straight Presidential terms.

That was eight years of not going after terrorists.

If you need help adding 2+2 later let me know.

[Lancey Howard]

He’s taking quite a gamble. What are the odds he’ll go anywhere.
He could be just bluffing. Oh well, he may as well roll the dice.

[dixiechick2000]

Your posts on this thread have been spot on. Thank you.

Now...I have a question.

It’s okay you use the term “dick” now?

I’ve seen it used in not a very flattering way several times.
