Blacklisted!

[RedStar25]

What are your thoughts on the current administration blacklisting meetings in Orlando and Las Vegas? The two metro, and state, economies depend heavily on tourist dollars. Since this edict will negatively effect our local economy and our local bond market, how do you feel about Orlando being targeted as a "no go zone" for companies that may or may not have taken "tarp" money from the fedral goverment?

Has this actually happened? Are there, say, documents? I just ask as I haven't seen them.

You stated in your post "I read a few of those links..." after you said you "...I Read the news...". You seem to read only what you want to read. Not once in any of the atricles was the word "rumor" used.

I was asking for peoples opinion on the issue. However you seem to have missed that point... or you just didnt read it.

By the way what else would you call the presidents staff other than the "current administration"? If you remeber TARP was passed under Bush's Administration... so.... I was just trying to clarify things.
