Obama to campaign for Democrats in Las Vegas

President Barack Obama will help Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid deliver his closing argument in this year’s campaign with a major rally in Las Vegas less than two weeks before Election Day.

The Democratic National Committee today announced a series of organizing rallies headlined by Obama in key states in the final weeks of the campaign.

The series will be Obama’s push to shore up waning Democratic support in the mid-term elections and could be key for both Reid and U.S. Rep. Dina Titus, who is facing a difficult challenge from Republican Joe Heck.

Obama’s organizing rally is scheduled for Oct. 22 in Las Vegas. It likely won’t be the only stop the president makes in Nevada before Nov. 2.

  1. I think its time for a new majority party in this country.

    Republicans caused this mess with their oil-war-monger old school attitude, and the Democrats have no clue how to fix it so they just throw money at it with their new-age propaganda.

  2. Switzerland, Sweden and Singapore have higher taxes and more regulations....time to increase taxes, regulations and improve infrastructure and education.

    People get talking points from Sludge and regurgitate here.

  3. One Question: When Will Obama realize he is the President and stop his racist and negative campaigning? He is a terrible president. Yeah - let him come to Nevada. Hope we are not paying taxes so his wife can go on another luxury vacation. Obama is a terrible president who will throw you in jail for not buying health insurance; Obama is a man who would rather support an illegal drug runner than keep ranchers in Arizona safe (so many have been murdered due to his policies). Yeah - the only good news is that so many people hate Obama that he has to bring in a traveling circus of paid people to sit in his audiences. As such, tourism for a short time gets a boost in Las Vegas.

    and since he is not in Washington DC - your family might have one day of reprieve of not getting another luxury, fine, or threat of being thrown in jail simply because you cannot find a job to pay for his high health insurance premiums.

    Obama now charges you 100 per cent more when you die and will take 50 per cent of everything you own the day you die. Before that you could give it your grand children.

    Yeah - Reid hates every single Native born US citizen who lives in Nevada by his terrible politics.
    Obama - stay home in Chicago. Heard there is a job open for mayor and we know Chicago is corrupt so you will fit in just fine.

  4. Let me clarify this for everyone.

    President Obama is coming here to help Senator Reid in his campaign for U.S. Senate.

    Who from the Republican Party is coming here to help Sharron Angle in her bid? NO ONE. The only ones working for her from Washington are people who choose to remain behind the scenes...and only with stupid campaign ads that slam Senator Reid...but give no one an idea who this Tea Party idiot is.

    Why don't they help her? Because they gave her up for a lost cause. All the Republicans want to do is stand back, close their eyes, cross their fingers and toes and hope against any and all hope that she wins. And the only way this will happen is on the off chance that all of the Nevada voters end up checking into hospitals and receiving frontal lobotomies.

    I'm sticking by President Obama and his administration. Because he shows he has plans that are clearly showing progress to get us out of the economic devastation. They are baby steps, but they are headed in the right direction. To change now would be a disaster of astronomic proportions. It would only be part 2 of policies set forth by the incompetent administration of Bush the lesser; a continuation of another 8 years of a steep downward slide.

    My vote goes for Senator Reid.
