US President Obama tells a questioner he won’t consider lightening laws on gambling as a means to stimulate the economy or create jobs.
A simple question-and-answer session at a college publicity stop revealed what the online gambling industry had wondered for some time: President Barack Obama’s stance on expanding gambling in the US, including regulation of Internet casinos. Obama told a student at Lehigh Carbon Community College that he would not consider using less strict gaming laws and policies to stimulate the economy or provide jobs.
The sophomore, a criminology student, asked the President if he would think about legalizing victimless crimes, such as possessing marijuana, prostitution, and gambling as a means to lower record unemployment. Without hesitation, the President said no.
There was no attempt by the President to differentiate between the categories of drugs, sex, and gaming, but rather a blanket dismissal. Internet gambling supporters hopeful that revenue possibilities created by regulation of online casinos would sway Obama toward their corner may now be concerned about legislation that may head the President’s way.
