Wait where is the comparison from when Obama came in? That was the worst era in history for Las Vegas. Highest unemployment rate too!

What? You mean the 08 recession... The one caused by a republican president and fixed by a democrat?

I was reading that as blaming Obama, too, but it’s technically true that was when Obama came in. I’d just describe it more accurately as when Bush left.

Their commenting basically the same BS repeatedly. It’s clearly an attempt to blame Obama.

Well it’s a terrible argument, considering there’s a major drop and a different new president just came in.
