Steve Wynn gets it (POL)

Three words:

Very conservative Democrats

Some were even considered Republicans. LOL

Personally, I don't care if they are conservative Democrats or flaming Liberals - Just Do the Right Thing and get this country back on its feet. Is that too hard a concept to understand?

As a public service, and I have list this site before, for those wishing to check the various polls I suggest www.PollingReport.com. This site is truly non-partisan listing the results of ALL polls, including some pretty obscure ones in my book, on various issues.

For example here is their summary of the last few months of polls on Presidential preference.

https://www.pollingreport.com/wh12gen.htm

President Obama has said, quite honestly I think, that he regrets his 2006 vote against raising the debt limit. His ability to change his mind and admit he was wrong about something is rightly viewed as a sign of his strength, not a weakness. - BOTH DECISIONS WERE VERY POLITICAL. DURING HIS GUEST APPEARANCE AS A US SENATOR IT APPEALED TO HIS BASE TO VOTE AGAINST THE DEBT LIMIT. NOW THAT HE IS PRESIDENT HE NEEDS TO RAISE IT SO HE NOW SAYS HE MADE A MISTAKE

Although Democrats were a majority in both the House and the Senate his first two years, they never truly had a working supermajority in the Senate. As we all know, it takes 60 votes in the Senate, not 51, to move legislation. Sen. Franken became the 60th senator in July 2009, but because one of those 60 is Sen. Lieberman, an independent who by and large opposed President Obama's agenda, this 60 was never a working supermajority for the President. Further, it fell back to 59 when Sen. Brown replaced Sen. Kennedy seven months later. - THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF HIS WEAKNESS AS A LEADER THAT HE COULD NOT CONVINCE ONE SENATOR. PRESIDENT REAGAN WAS ABLE TO GET A LOT DONE WITH A REPUBLICAN MINORITY CONGRESS

Unlike President Obama, who under constant political attack, - NOW THAT IS FUNNY. HE HAS THE NATIONAL BARACK CHANNEL, AMERICAN BARACK CHANNEL, CHANNEL of BARACK SUPPORTERS, AS WELL AS MORE SUPPORTERS of NATIONAL BARACK CHANNEL, THE WASHINGTON POST, LA TIMES, NY TIMES, THE HUFF AND PUFF POST ALL IN HIS POCKET.

"Three words:

One word - Incorrect

Actually Reid wouldn't bring it up for a vote because he was concerned that if congress passed a budget with record setting deficits they would get killed at the polls

I think David McKee did a great job today highlighting Steve Wynn's most recent ridiculous and infantile outburst, calling Wynn's newest whine "a hissy fit that would shame most toddlers".

Well put.

OR...he did not have the votes due to the very conservative Democrats.

As far as I'm concerned, everyone's entitled to their opinion.

I don't think all are completely correct or incorrect.

I suppose it's just the mindset of people's outlook that causes discontent.

I am now finished with all political threads until at least 2012 which I believe will be a very interesting year.

That's the ticket. Attack the messenger when you don't like the message... I guess you and David know more about the Vegas Economy than Steve Wynn.

Wynn was telling us how he feels. He obviously has strong feelings on THIS issue and he felt it was an important message. I meet with owners of small to medium sized businesses almost every day. I'll tell you without a doubt, the majority of them feel the same way as Wynn.

You can argue that they're wrong....but they truly believe what Wynn is saying...and that's the real rub. The sentiment of Business Owners does in fact matter. It matters a lot. If you've ever tried to sell anything you would know that.

For a hack like David McKee to brush off Democrat Billionaire Businessman Wynn's comments like they are meaningless only shows that he 'doesn't get it' either. The fact that Wynn and so many other businessmen feel the same way should be a big concern for everyone...because hiring of permanent employees won't improve until they are in a different mood....or you can just stick your heads back in the sand and pretend it's a meaningless hissy fit from a man who actually employs thousands.

Marc, I am disappointed in you. After all these years you should know that these threads are monopolized by bat shit crazy conservative and wet-the-bed liberal commentary. Any voices of moderation on these threads are as out of place as a bottle of Silver Oak at Battista's!

Actually Steve Wynn and his ilk are doing better than ever in the socialist economy of Obama. Corporate profits are at record highs and the Steve Wynn's of the world have incomes higher now than at any time in their history...while also paying the lowest tax rates. Of course the Wynns of the world are never made to feel guilt for outsourcing jobs and not creating new jobs with their precious tax cuts...no, it is the government that is made to feel guilt for not giving the Wynn's even more tax cuts.

I'm really getting sick and tired of feeling sorry for the billionaire business tycoons who have it "oh so tough" in the current economy. There are legitimate victims of the housing crisis, the banking crisis, and the unemployment crisis. Steve Wynn isn't one of them.
