President Barack Obama has cancelled his rally that was scheduled for Tuesday morning in Colorado Springs to monitor Hurricane Sandy, according to a White House press release.
Obama will return to Washington to continue to monitor the hurricane following a campaign event in Ohio on Monday. A campaign event that was scheduled in Northern Virginia on Monday was also cancelled because of the storm.
According to a statement made by the White House Saturday night, “The President is being regularly updated on the storm and ongoing preparations, and he has directed his team to continue to bring all available resources to bear as state and local partners continue to prepare for the storm.”
The press release said that FEMA has deployed teams and has pre-staged resources to potentially affected areas of the storm.
The rally that was scheduled in Colorado Springs’ Red Rock Canyon Open Space park on Tuesday was meant to focus on issues such as the economy and early voting, according to a campaign spokesperson.
He probably has a golf game scheduled for sometime this week. Worried about whether he should cancel.
I’m sure the people of Colorado Springs are heartbroken.
No hope for the dope in Colorado and his non stop sleeping on AF1 campaign has him longing to be back amongst his homies.
Also, now it is certain to bypass DC the perfect time to return to the command hut. I vote for his going to the Steel Pier and commanding the storm to go out to sea. I’d put him on a donkey and he can impersonate the horse dive into the pool which used to be an attraction there.
Maybe he can monitor the sand storm in Libya too?
There are not that many liberals in COS.
There are some places you don’t waste your time on in this country. An Obama campaign stop won’t change how El Paso votes.
They knew their rally would not compare favorably with the over-the-top Romney Rally at Red Rocks that Gina, a caller who had attended, reported to Rush’s show last week. She gave a great synopsis of the enormous gathering of super-enthusiastic voters that attended.
Perhaps Obama’s people caught that show and knew their own rally would flop. After all, his voters don’t walk miles uphill for anything that doesn’t end with them getting free stuff.
Colo Spgs is republican. It’s a good place for him to skip so he can ‘’look presidential’’ in the wake of Sandy.
Yep. Colorado Springs is a military town and a Conservative bastion. A waste of time for Socialist Obama.
I understand that Peterson AFB has a great golf course.
Reminiscent of McCain suspending his campaign and rushing to Washington.
But but but ... according to Team Obama mouthpieces, Obama can do everything from AF-1. So why does he need to be back in Washington to monitor Hurricane Sandy?
Answer: Because the election is just over a week away and he needs to be seen as being PRESIDENTIAL.
Monitor. Would that be Basketball or Golf?
Image stolen!
This is kind of misleading, Red Rocks Apmitheatre is in Denver County, Red Rocks park is 90 miles away in Colo Springs.
“Barry, the media need help making you look ‘presidential’. How about pretending you’re more concerned with the hurricane than re-election?”
“Well, if the media think that’s best and have the stories you gave them ready to go... say, I’ve been dying to play some of Malia’s new video games.”
“Sure, here’s what we gave the NYTimes: ‘Hero President risks re-election to personally save women and minorities from killer hurricane.’ “
He wants to get back to the Situation Room to watch the devastation and then fly away to Las Vegas on Air Force One nestled sleeping in his kingly bed.
Maybe he wants to be sure to watch while people in the Northeast get blown away. Or -- he needs a little extra sleep for a fundraising trip to Las Vegas.
I hope nobody needs a C130 gunship.
I noticed Odopeo was scheduled to have a stop at Red Rocks.
Ain’t hard to figger it out why he decided to monitor the storm instead.
I do hope he does a better monitor job than he did with Libya. He stands to lose all his east coast moron votes.
Can anyone imagine Allan West seeing what was happening , and going to bed?
And that is leadership ladies and gentlemen .... just imagine if he hadn't decisively barked out these orders ... his team would probably have just sat around in their pajamas and watched football on TV. The POTUS has spoken !
