Obama Screws With Reid's Re-Election

In the cycle Harry Reid will have to defend his Senate seat against Republicans and democrats.
At risk, he is, enough by his own moronic actions. 
Fellow democrats, like Chucky Schumer, are spreading money around to party candidates in order to position themselves for becoming the replacement Senate Majority Leader.
Now the President is pissing off the citizens of Nevada by disparaging their primary industry...

"You don't go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage," 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."

The following story reports that the President has offered an explaination which contradicts the above statement. The serving as not so much an apology , but an "that's not what I meant to say".....

I don't really care so much about the President's intent; he probably did not mean to disparage the people of Nevada.  He was just talking about money and the prioritization of its use.  Which make me wonder, if President Obama is so knowledgeable about how to spend money, why does he endorse a budget that promotes spending repeats past bad programs? And another thing, if there were billions to be saved in the Medicaid and Medicare programs when the healthcare bill was presented, now that that bill is stalled, why aren't these stupendous savings in the new budget.  I tell you why, because its all bull shit. 
I've gotten off course, getting back to topic.
The words were delivered with probably no more bad intent than those the President uses for Republicans.  But these words will undermine Reid in his home state to a depth that should make it impossible for him to get re-elected.  Considering the cut throat mentality of Rahm Emanual, was the intent to dethrone Harry Reid?
I don't know, a weak Harry Reid is far better for Republicans than an omnipotent Charles Schumer.
