As a gesture of gratitude, President Barack Obama, who had a massive lead I Nevada State during Presidential election in 2008, has finally exposed his face as one of the worst enemies of Nevada. Recently in a speech he discouraged the students in spending money in buying leisure in Las Vegas [Nevada State].

In a speech, Obama said, "You don't blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you're trying to save for college. You prioritize. You make tough choices. It's time your government did the same."

President Barack Obama keeps coming up with creative ways to insert references to Las Vegas into his speeches - and he's really beginning to irritate lawmakers and residents from Nevada. With Air Force One due to touch down at McCarran Airport Feb. 18, the last thing President Barack Obama wants is to be greeted by protesters or get the cold shoulder from Nevada lawmakers.

The comments quickly sparked a flurry of reaction in the Silver State, which supported Obama in the 2008 election. Nevada had an unemployment rate of 13 percent in December.

Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman said during a hastily called news conference that Obama is no friend to Las Vegas and would not be welcomed here if he visits.

"I'll do everything I can to give him the boot," Goodman said. "This president is a real slow learner."

Goodman and others are worried that Obama's words will discourage visitors from coming to Las Vegas and depress the industry further.

"Enough is enough!" Democratic Congresswoman Shelley Berkley said in a statement. "President Obama needs to stop picking on Las Vegas and he needs to let Americans decide for themselves how and where to spend their hard-earned vacation dollars."

Sen. John Ensign, a Republican, complained that Obama "failed to grasp the weight that his words carry."

"Once again he has threatened the struggling economy of Las Vegas," Ensign said, recalling what he characterized as Obama's "irresponsible" comment in February 2009.

One year ago, Obama commented during a town hall meeting in Elkhart, Indiana that corporations shouldn't use federal bailout money for trips to Las Vegas, the Super Bowl or corporate jets. Tourism and casino officials said the comment hurt the city as companies canceled meetings in Las Vegas and rescheduled them elsewhere.

Now it is a big question to all, as to why Obama has been actively trying to discourage people from spending in Las Vegas. His actions are evidently similar as those of Taliban Mullahs in Afghanistan or fanatic Islamist Mullahs in Iran.

Since he entered the White House last year, Barack Hussain Obama is continuing series of efforts which would only tell all of us that, he is possibly trying to Islamize United States through many ways and means. Look at his attitude towards Iranian dictator and nasty Mullah like Ahmadinejad or many others like him. Look at his actions on Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp. Look at his actions against freedom of speech.

Many political pundits are already predicting that Obama will be the one-term President in United States, which bundles of failures and wrongly perceived ideas, which would only add increased complicities to countries various issues, including the growing number of unemployment. No doubt, Barack Obama is also by now aware of this 'single term'. And possibly understanding this, he is trying his best in rather experimenting with the pride, dignity and prospects of the United States and its people, which unfortunately should be tolerated by the voters till the remaining years of his presidency.
