The powers-that-be in Las Vegas appear to have taken a sly dig at the President on the heels of his last outspoken comments about the desert's Sin city which caused an uproar for the second time in the past year.
If you recall, I penned a post on the controversy a short while ago, which arose when Obama urged Americans to save their funds for College tuition rather than spend it like a drunken sailor in the Nevada oasis.

Understandably, the remarks sparked a furor.
After all, Las Vegas - in particular - has been hurting from high unemployment and a downturn in tourism due to a struggling economy.
In view of the foregoing, one has to wonder about the timeliness of the installation of the wax dummy of Barack Obama, at Madame Tussaud's Museum on the strip.
A hint that the President deserves a place of honor in the "dummy" ranks?
Obama is expected to visit the resort area - to make amends? - in the near future.
Will he have the gumption to inspect his - um - likwise?
News at 11!
