There's a threat to our country right there!!! So many illegals coming over our boarders and screwing up our country.I feel like a minority in own my homeland.Since when does Americans have to learn to speak Spanish at American own Stores or anywhere for that matter? And why do Americans suffer when it comes to jobs especially, in (CONSTRUCTION/BRICKLAYERS) in LAS VEGAS. ILLEGAL Mexicans fresh from Mexico get the jobs and get right into the Union ILLEGALLY and work while Americans get laid OFF. President Bush fix those problems will YA?
Illegal Mexicans need to go!!! American FIRST than maybe help those who want to enter our Country Legally.We need a President who is going to worry about those problems!!!!

No, I took a look at losers like you and went back to Washington where there's more losers like you (Harry Reid / Nancy Pelosi).

Our constitution has rules like this for reason, it has nothing to do with "patriotism" (or homage to a king 24/7), we're not all solders, he's not my commander and chief, I'm a citizen, he's a president of a republic (re public).

I laugh at the fools who voted for Bush (some twice) making excuses for the jerk and harking back to Clinton, who has been out of office for over seven years!

Bush pushed to store nuclear waste here in Nevada and the same Republicans voted him into office.

Republicans have always been stupid!

This not only can be a great civic training tool for our children’s teachers it shows us how fragile our own society is by the need for so much security...We should embrace our President no matter what political party as our country must stand tall with our "Commander in Chief". Welcome to Las Vegas Mr. President.

GOD wrote on January 31, 2008 05:31 PM: If we ever want to be taken seriously in Nevada, we do need to have Presidential visits from time to time. Bush doesn't have to sneak in and out of Las Vegas in the dark of night like Slick Willy.

Bradl - as a pilot myself, good luck on your flight training, but seriously, who's going to be skydiving with the temperatures aloft below zero?- popsicles?

Oh, and the President's speech was very relevant today [War on Terror] when it was announced today that we killed one of the top Al-Quida commanders. He paid at visit to Allah on Monday.

Go U.S.A.

Even though it will cause delays in traffic it's an awesome experience to have the President here. Also, I am sure he will raise a lot of money here from the fundraiser. I hope that everything goes smoothly.

The President's visit impacts my studies for my career and livelihood. For his visit, a TFR (temp. flight restriction) has been placed around Las Vegas for all aviation save commercial flights from 18 hours before he arrived to 18 hours after he leaves. So I'm stuck on the ground during a great time for me to be in the air, and on top of that, half a day before he got in and half a day after he's gone.

Not only does it hurt me, but it hurts the city's economy. No tourist flights from here to the Grand Canyon. No skydiving. No helicopter tours. No rich guys coming from the LA area to spend their money here. That's a lot of people sitting around not getting paid for doing what they do, through no fault of their own.

That's a serious hit to the economy here, and I'm not surprised more people aren't complaining about it.

This is 24/7 Vegas -- you tell me when the guy can come to town without causing a traffic jam. And you all would bitch no matter where he stayed, but the guy has to sleep somewhere. he is the president, for godssakes! I wonder if there would be all of these complaints about traffic and hotel accomodations if the president was popular. Face it, the preseident has the right to do travel and the like just like everybody else, and the enormous security requirements should not be a bartrier between him and the rest of the country, nor should he have to visit all of us in order to visit some of us. Be honest: you are all complaining because you do not like George Bush, and not because his visit is really such a huge inconvenience. The president is the president after all, and he deserves some modicum of additional respect simply due to the office he inhabits. One day the White House may be occupied by a president you all like, and he will come to visit you or people you agree with. When that happens, do not be offended by those who lodge petty complaints about one inconvenient traffic jam simply because they do not like whoever is president. I am no fan of George Bush, but his security is no more cumbersome than it will be for whomever we elect this November. ARE YOU ALL GOING TO BITCH WHEN HILLARY OR BARAK VISIT VEGAS AS THE CANDIATE ENTITLED TO A FULL SECRET SECURITY DETAIL? I doubt it.
