Obama to Boulder

Channel 7 saying Obama had to cancel the Springs visit but will be in Boulder on Thursday. I can't imagine how he could leave the coast during this incredible storm but if he comes we'll do all we can to have a big crowd of support.

No offense to any DU'ers located in the Springs. Actually I think he may have won over some independents in the Springs with his response to the fire this summer.

I got my ticket yesterday for the Springs event before they canceled today. I'm bummed out but I'm also glad the Prez is doing the right thing. Hey, Bill Maher packs a full house when he comes here and so does the Prez. The righties here are just louder than we are. I blame it on all the religious retreats here, especially Focus on the Family. Yuck.

...which is another wacko Christian outfit. (Or, maybe it used to be.)

No wonder Mr Obama is visiting Boulder instead. I would, too.

But I'd much rather see our President putting on a strong display of hands-on leadership during Sandy's landfall.

America needs him this week, more than at any other time during his presidency.
