Remember the Las Vegas mayor who called U.S. president Barack Obama a “slow learner” after he singled out Las Vegas during one of his classic do as I say, not as I do moments?
Well, according to online reports, Mayor Oscar Goodman refused an invitation to meet with President Obama who was is in Vegas yesterday.
“I’ve got other things to do quite frankly for my constituents here in Las Vegas who rely on me to do the right thing as a mayor,” explained Mayor Goodman. Ouch.
When asked if he was surprised that the White House extended an invitation to him in the first place, Mayor Goodman said, “A little bit in the sense I would think they would know that I would say I’m not coming,” said Mayor Goodman.
“We are hurting, we have people in foreclosures, we have people having a hard time feeding their families and we can’t stand to have a flippant statement made,” said Mayor Goodman.
So far there’s been no comment from the White House.
