President Barack Obama is returning to the Las Vegas Valley to speak at a grass-roots event Wednesday morning at Canyon Springs High School in North Las Vegas.
Obama’s speech will focus on the economy, Obama’s Nevada campaign officials said in a press release. The president will discuss his plan to create middle class jobs, pay down the national debt and how he and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney differ in their plans to grow the economy.
This is Obama’s second visit to the Las Vegas Valley in less than three months. He spoke at UNLV about the student loan debate on June 7.
The event is open to the public, but a ticket is required for entry. Officials said free tickets are available beginning at 11 a.m. Sunday at the Obama campaign offices at 3230 E. Charleston Blvd., No. 111, 7469 W. Lake Mead Blvd., No. 170; 860 S. Rancho Drive, No. 7, as well as 1720 W. Horizon Ridge Pkwy., No. 1, in Henderson.
The Obama campaign did not list a start time for the president's speech Wednesday but indicated doors to Canyon Springs would open to the public at 7 a.m.
Let's see....this is Jobs Plan No. 243,634,273rd.
1st it was the "stimulus" with the promise that it would bring unemployment below 6% by now.
Then it was the "Summer of Recovery" nonsense.
What goofy idea he has now???????
Perhaps when we was working on his putting that he came up with another brillant idea.
It is time to put this joker where he belongs....playing golf and out of the WH.
You can fool the public some of the time but not all of the public all of the time. The guy is such a character when he shakes your hand u better count your fingers!BTW where are BO school transcripts ? No one and I mean no one remembers him fr Columbia.
Obama has officially stooped to a new low that reeks of desperation. Other than die hard liberals who would fall for this dreck?
Both Obama and Romney will be here a lot. They both need the state. Otherwise, both candidates wouldn't step foot here.
It's the fourth straight month of unemployment increases in Clark County. I'm keen to hear what the President has to say.
I mean, Brian Sandoval has obviously done nothing to help Clark County. He's hiding under a Rock, desperate for the numbers to improve, but doing nothing to help.
When a republican is in the Governor's mansion, the GOP always give him a free ride.
Obama and Harry both have said that the DREAM Act was passed by executive order because it is the right thing to do. Children of illegals had no say in being here. Well guess what, American children had no say in being here either, but they're expected to obey the laws!
What jobs creation plan? Obama does not have a plan other than to distract America with attacks on the other side! He will spout the same old tired rhetoric and sway the people that have not got a clue and they will vote for him to keep their government handout.....Disgusting!!!
Obama job plan will be a lie just like every other promise except Obamacare, which is just a tax. He is a liar and a pathetic leader who has no clue how to jumpstart the economy. No corporations will hire as long as this foreign dictator is in office.
Fertile vote ground for the great welfare organizer in Chief. But the traffic jams both air and ground are h+++.
By the way this every day murder in east Las Vegas is getting old. This is what happens when you let foreigners in whom have no respect for the law. Illegal=Free to them. Close the damn border!
Obama is going to finish off North Town. He is the welfare king and that place is fertile ground to hear the panderer in chief spew his ignorance. Although, when he loses in Nov he can come back on his own dime and purchase one of the foreclosures he was supposed to assist with. AHHHHHHH, his master plan, keep Vegas and the surrounding areas in the hole and he can come in with his GOVERNMENT PENSION and swoop up the real estate deals. mwhha ha ha.
wow does obama think he can actually tell the republican backed casinos mgm,harrahs,boyd,and stations to hire workers what a laugh that is
WELCOME BACK, PRESIDENT OBAMA.
Again, please ignore the ignorant, stupid, crazy
and desperate lies spun by the lunatic
republicans.
THESE FOOLS ARE THE MINORITY VOTER HERE.
THANK GOD.
These idiot republicans don't have a clue that
their own party DESTROYED OUR MIDDLE CLASS.
These republicans are brain-washed slaves to
their rich republican slavemasters.
Lucky for us WE DEMOCRATS out number these
republican, teabagger fools in NEVADA AND THE
ENTIRE U.S.
FOUR MORE YEARS FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!
BeSafer......
Not a chance.
Herman Munster and little Eddie Munster don't
have a snowballs chance in hell against our
GREAT OBAMA/BIDEN.
Get used to four more years of the best president
in our lifetime.
NO MORE GREEDY/HEARTLESS REPUBLICANS!
We already went down that dirty republican road.
WE'RE NOT GOING BACK!
WE'RE NOT STUPID!
News Flash: It's reported by the Las Vegas SUN that President Kardashian has a jobs plan! Update to follow!

YES, these republican teatards are the dumbest
people on the face of the earth.
You can't fix stupid.
Thank God they will always be out-numbered.
I thought he was against coming to Vegas and blowing money? Wonder how much money is being on his Vegas trip.
@teamster... Out numbered really? How do you explain the majority in the house? Or how about how republicans are about to take back the Senate and most likely they will not the fake out of the White House? Or how about the fact that there are more republican governors than dummycrats?
Yeah you guys are really outnumbering us. Is that the same as how union numbers have been growing? haha
Obama really needs to come up with a job creation plan because he has already told us that we don't need, or even want the off-shored jobs to come back. He actually said it would be bad for us for those jobs to come back. Combine that with Reid's efforts on behalf of Chinese companies to build factories here and you have to wonder just who they are really working for.
I like President Obama visiting Vegas, because i know it raises the "fear and loathing" blood pressure of Sheldon Adelson.
:-)
Wonderful, after three and a half years President Obama finally has a plan and he only needs four more years to make it work. An unemployment rate of 12.9% in Las Vegas says it all, President Obama is in over his head. It will be refreshing to hear him talk about jobs and not tax returns, high school pranks and dogs on cars.
Typical, going to the well-off portion of Northtown, as he certainly would never come to the heart of the town...where the need is the greatest. Neither candidate really has a clue, but have given Obama the chance with a Senate Majority and he has done little, so let us see what the other side can do....is THAT grammar OK (or should I have spelled okay out)?
Obama loves Las Vegas as the racial diversity here favors his message of hope and change we can belive in? Sadly Mitt Romney is the only other choice. Is there not anyone more suitable other than these 2 guys that can be elected to put America back on the road to sound money and real job growth? It should be required by all politicians to wear NASCAR style jackets while campaigning so we the people can see if their corporate sponsors are the type best serving Americans interests. Obama could sport a General Electric logo and Romney could proudly display a Swiss bank logo....
No president is going to change what's going on. Obama, Mitt, Sheldon,Trump...none of them. When you decided on open tariffs, open borders, the jobs will go where overseas. That's just an economic fact. Until a balance is achieved on pay overseas vs. pay here, the jobs will be transported. No candidate has a plan to fix that or change that. We are shipping middle class jobs overseas because this is capitalism at work where we seek the greatest return on our investment. If I can pay 100 people $50/ per day vs. 100 people $200/day....what did you think was going to happen?
As I said no person...Obama, Romney, Superman, Wonderwoman..is going to change that. All the other stuff is just blathering. Both sides buy this crap that this candidate "is going to create jobs" hook line and sinker. It's nonsense. The only jobs that will get created are government funded (defense contractors under republican plans) and government funded infrastructure jobs under democratic plans). Maybe a few McDonalds jobs under either party. The Middle class PRIVATELY created jobs are being sent overseas.
Obama's job plan, more taxes, to cover taxpayers job creation. Taxpayers cannot create long last jobs, its only temporary. Why is the country stuck on all front of the economic trail, because Obama is using taxpayers to fund his project. $15 trillion and climbing, this bill will come due and you think you have a hard now, Obama does not care about the future or others down the road. Job creation starts with corporate America, and until that is realized, 4 more years of high unemployment, stagnant economy is what you will have.
Whatever. This man is a president like I was??? I dont think so. And Romney and his little buddy Ryan from Wisconsin is VP material? Smells worse than Palin if not as bad. If Romney get's in there is a chance he will revert to his old Bishop ways and convert every deceased American soul to Mormon using the resources of the Federal Government lol. If Obama gets in again he will sink (along with the worthless Congress) America to a new low and America will be one step closer to Mexican society status where there is only ultra rich like the people running for office and ultra poor like the homeless American children and homeless Americans that they don't care about.. No politician cares if everyone becomes unemployed as long as their $$ is flowing to them and they have their exorbitant pensions available to them after they are done raiding the henhouse. It's election time and that is why you are all of the rubbish spewing from their bought mouths. None of the above never looked better.
nisa......
YES, you republicans are WAY OUT-NUMBERED.
That's a fact.
We DEMOCRATS out number you in NEVADA and we
out-number you in the entire U.S.
That's the reality that you republicans don't
want to believe.
OBAMA/BIDEN WILL WIN IN NOVEMBER!
AND we won't let crazy teabaggers ever run our
great country.
They're too stupid.
Sorry but that's the truth.
Not to worry teamster, it will not be our country much longer no matter who wins in November... so get that big cost of living raise now while you still get a paycheck...
Also on Sunday the wonderful and intelligent spokesperson for the Democratic Party that cares Debbie Wasserman Schultz will open the OBAMA office in Pahrump. Yes the Democratic Party, unlike the Rush Limbaugh Republican Party cares about all people...not just the RICH Bigots and haters who back Ryan Romney who just care abut rich white people.
Mr. Obama is our President and we taxpayer's pick up the huge expense of his visit here
Tom D,
Sometimes I agree with your posts, sometimes I do not. Your post in this thread I agree with a lot and is very true.
Teamster,
Your posts never make and sense, and I've never seen any one of your post backed up by facts. I guess it doesn't matter. Your comments are not trusted, and will be deleted from these threads after 45 days anyways. Go ahead and respond with your all capps nonsense lol
Typical liberal response teamster. I point out the facts that show dummycrats do not outnumber anyone yet you jsut don't see them. I am sorry that you don't know what a FACT is.
This guy has done nothing for Nevada or Las Vegas. All he and buddies want to do is to increase the entitlement programs and redistribute wealth. Who needs that? We lost millions of dollars in convention business due to Obama's caustic comments about Las Vegas. Obama has never apologized and he never will. We needs jobs here and Obama has done nothing for the local economy except tie up traffic with his stupid trips paid for by the poor US taxpayer. He is going to lose Nevada and rightfully deserves to. When you cannot find work blame Obama.
Jan Brewer next door assured Obama a victory here! LOL
daydreamer......
When is the last time you saw a Muslim with a
beer in his hand?
Your answer should be never.
They don't allow it.
PRESIDENT OBAMA drinks beer.
Willard Romney can't drink beer.
Like the Muslim religion, Romney's religion
doesn't allow it either.
Romney is too strange and Ryan is too crazy.
Republicans won't see the White House for at least
another 50 years.
Extreme, right-wing republicans took care of that.
THANK GOD.
Anthony....
I'm glad that you enjoy my comments.
I tell the truth here.
The problem with republicans is that they don't
understand the truth.
That's not my problem.
I will continue to tell the truth here.
But I know one thing for sure, you republicans
will understand the truth in November.
Enjoy.
Mr. Teamster:
Obama has already acknowledged that he is Muslim... lol So beer or no beer it is a mute issue. As for claiming to have the most registered voters in the country well that may true since I saw first hand at the DMV where people were being registered to vote, Yes sir, they had people filling out the forms for those that can't speak english, did not know what they were getting, choosing Obama as the party they wanted. Oh by the way that is illegal, you must fill out the form yourself, they can not do this. So what we have is duplication of records that is going to flood the registrar office... Nothing has changed with democratic politicians , same ole lies, deceit, scare tactics. But you go ahead and profess having it all, because were all gonna laugh when you fall.
ivegotcha.....
WOW, you republicans just can't stop the spin.
IT WON'T WORK.
The majority of Americans aren't stupid.
If you believe that Americans will vote for the
same republican idiots that destroyed our economy
and middle class, I have a big, ugly bridge to
sell you.
Greedy republicans already stole our jobs, wages and retirements.
Now they want to steal our Social Security and
Medicare.
NO WAY/NO HOW!!!
WE'RE KEEPING OBAMA/BIDEN!!!
It's Oblamers farewell tour. Let's all turn out to say good bye.....and good riddance !!!
BeSafer.....
Jobs????
The republican jobs plan is already done.
GREEDY REPUBLICANS SENT OUR JOBS TO COMMUNIST
CHINA!
And you low income republicans want to vote for
these fools?
No wonder your party is so screwed up.
Your republican slavemasters brain-washed you.
Don't worry.
DEMOCRATS are fixing the republican MESS.
Could someone walk him through our homeless alley? And ask him on camera what his idea of job creation is for these people?
Obumma is much better at creating dependancies tean he is at creating jobs. The only acconplishment on this trip will be tieing up traffic.
Maybe it's me, but I think you are going to see a lot of angry republicans the day after the election. I just don't see how they are going to win.
Do the people who use the terms Obumma, O'dumba, Demosleaze not realize they lose all credibility when trying to make an argument? Same applies to those democrats using negative terms.
Try a little respect. It goes a long way in getting a point across.
Teamster,
I don't always agree with everyone posting here, but i do wish to read their basis for their opinion.
You add nothing but name-calling and campaign slogans.
Your rants fail to do credit to union members (of which I am one) and are an embarrasment.
Please grow up or cease.
