President Barack Obama waves from Air Force One after arriving at McCarran International Airport Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2012.
Sunday, Oct. 28, 2012 | 12:11 p.m.
Sun coverage
President Barack Obama will visit Las Vegas on Thursday as part of a swing through three battleground states, the Obama campaign said.
Obama also will visit Boulder, Colo., and Springfield, Ohio, for grassroots events before campaigning throughout Ohio on Friday.
The Obama campaign hasn't released details about the president's Las Vegas visit, which was announced Sunday.
Strike while the iron is hot, red hot! Make your case Mr. President, make your case!
Be direct, tell the people the truth, be the President and you will win and serve four more years, as our President.
My numbers have you at winning by 6 to 8 points.
Why!
More Air Force One and C-17 cargo plane expense to taxpayers. More curtailment of our Grand Canyon air tour industry. More traffic tie ups. Why!
He doesn't even like our town.
"Don't blow a bunch of cash on Vegas." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96NLtvUQz...
Can he draw a crowd without Katy Perry?
Here's what people will remember about the Presidents visits to Las Vegas

"The "Free Phone" stands set up to entice low income individuals to TAKE more free benefits looked a bit suspicious so close to the election." (Bob Realist)
Hey Bobby boy, you sending out coded messages? False information! Trying say something about something, like people living on street, low income individuals,...race maybe? You throwing a rock and hiding your hand...aye, Bobby boy! So you "actually" talked with "these downtrodden" individuals. Aye Bobby Boy! Actually...Your funny!
Chew on this before you start slinging more muck from the junk you just posted.
The free phone program originated back in 1984 during the Ronald Reagan administration; it was expanded 1996 during the administration of Bill Clinton; and the fist cellular service was launched in 2008, during the administration of George W. Bush. All of these milestones were passed prior to the advent of the Obama administration. The program is not directly subsidized by taxpayer monies.
@SteveMiller4LV,
"He doesn't even like our town." (Steve Miller)
Really! Mr. Miller, did your really believe what you just posted? The Youtube thing and all. You trying to scare people or tell people the truth???
The truth is, the President spoke the truth about being responsible during a very difficult time. Did his words affect business in Las Vegas...Yes it did. I felt the pain as did everyone else in Las Vegas who relies on tourism.
Mr. Miller, tell the truth, stop sending out these coded messages trying to scare people into believing distorted and misleading information. You have a responsible to say what is true if you know the truth. If you don't know the truth,...keep you mouth close and your ears opened, and ask somebody who knows the truth, or seekout the truth yourself.
@Bob_Realist,
If that is how you see it, and how you really feel, why don't you make a difference and past on what you know to the people who can follow-up and stop the abuse you say you know about?
Your right, you did not send out a coded message. It can be read by others for what it is. It was an attempt to send out a coded message. You can see it a mile away my friend.
Looky folks, the freeloader express is coming to town. For someone who disses Vegas he sure needs the ignorant liberals to support him.
Longtime, you're about as independent as a symbiotic organism. Put down your free phone and start thinking.
We can't afford four more years of the freeloader express and the sycophants it breeds.

@Heretic,
I know you like me to respond to your crazy talk. Your funny.
You know, I beat you last time,..again.
Here's your finger nails on the chalk board moment:
President Obama wins re-election by 6 to 8 points.
Steve Miller;
I assume it was alright for Bush to use Air Force One? But then he was white.
If you had taken the time to actually listen to what Obama said, you may have been surprised. Obama said don't take GOVERNMENT BAILOUT MONEY, and blow it in Vegas. He did not tell the public not to come here. Simple research would have helped you out.
Obama drew a crowd of over 11,000 recently and it was still very hot. So yes, I'd say he can draw a crowd without Katy Perry. Romney and Ryan only drew a crowd of 6,000 the day before Obama and they had Kid Rock and Rodney Atkins.
Welcome to Las Vegas, Mr. President and please come back again very soon. All sane Nevadans look forward to your reelection !
OBAMA / BIDEN 2012 !
Vegaslib, "he was white"..... well, there it is. All the reason your man will lose. He has his minions out using racist phrases to scare folks and incite dumb behavior.
I have noticed a trend with the libs posters and the one "independent" who support Obama...they are building a losing excuse for their candidate.
When Obama loses it won't be because his policies are driving the economy into the ground like a yard dart.....it's because everybody is racist. WOW, that's the best you have??
Live in denial, vote for Obama!!

Who cares about Obama. He is anti business and has covered up his incompetence in Libya. He hates the Israeli Prime Minister. He does not give a hoot about Nevada. Never did. Let him retire in January back in Hawaii.
I would think he would be making his way back to the east coast to deal with the aftermath of Sandy.
What are u people going to talk about after the so called leader is defeated?
Ah, now I got it, OB got ahold of tigers black book.
The light is on.
More traffic delays and disruption, all just to chase six electoral votes? Very interesting...

I am convinced he has a girlfriend here. Nothing else can explain why he keeps coming back without his wife so much.
Only a republican would think that.
Republicans cheat on everything and everybody.
One good reason he always comes here. Secret service orgies here are the best in the world due to our many fine and inexpensive hookers.
Teamster, for somebody that thinks everybody is full of hate....you sure are full of it. "They must have been dropped on their fat heads
as children". Nice sentiment. You evidently speak from experience.
I can't wait for Obama to lose. You'll need to be deprogrammed.
NOvember=NObama=NOteamster
Heretic and BeSafer.....
Republicans already have a proven track record of
total failure.
WE'RE NOT STUPID!
Republicans fool NOBODY.
Republican greed destroyed our entire economy and
middle class.
Do you really think that we forgot that?
And romney's plan stinks to high Heaven.
HIS MATH DOESN'T ADD UP.
REPUBLICAN LOSERS WILL LOSE AGAIN!!!
Teamster, you are clearly the face of desperation. Stop before you embarrass yourself even more.
Good Evening to all You Tea Party Republicans who seem to have issues With ANYTHING President Obama Does, FOX News IS NOT, Has Not Been AND Will Never Be Factually Acurate. President Obama said Don't Blow Your Kids College Money On Vegas. That makes Sense Everywhere but in a Town Has has the Lowest Educated Population of any Major City in The U.S. (Las Vegas). I know Tea Party Haters find it very Difficult spelling GOOGLE and doing ANY Fact Checking Themselves - Because That would take One Minute of Work instead of Collecting their Government Retirement Checks.
Heretic......
Sounds like you enjoy my comments.
I hope you learned a few things.
Please vote early for PRESIDENT OBAMA.
The country you save will be ours.
Mitt Romney has already written off 47% of Americans as 'losers'. At a fundraising event on May 12 2012 Romney showed his true colors when he said:
'There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it -- that that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what'
'My job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2gvY2wqI...
What an absolute waste of taxpayer money. If you don't know who you're voting for by now don't bother.
It might be better to act like a president and see what happens when Sandy hits the east coast. Go there and do your job...
@SteveMiller4LV
Air Force One is a vital component of any President's security. In case you didn't know, Osama bin Laden was plotting to kill President Obama:
'ABC News can confirm that bin Laden wrote to others in al Qaeda about a plot to kill President Obama and General David Petraeus, then the commander of coalition forces in Afghanistan'

Yet another trip by and for the white house and the citizens of Clark County and pay for all the overtime that will be provided by the Las Vegas Metro Police. Enough already.

Win or lose, Obumer will not be back to Las Vegas.
The only time you will ever see Las Vegas and Obumer mentioned in the same sentence after the election is if he wins and he's bad mouthing the city like before.
@NVFisherman
If Romney had been President when the consulate in Libya was attacked he would have started dropping bombs the next day. Romney put out a statement condemning Obama before the smoke had even cleared at the consulate.
America can't afford Romney's 'knee jerk' foreign policy.

There are a lot of intelligent Democrats in Nv. and they are smart enough to see that Obama is destroying their country, and will vote to end his Raid on America!!

Before you go accusing Obama of praying to Allah for guidance you might want to learn how to spell 'Allah' and 'guidance'.
Your ridiculous accusations against Obama only look worse when you are unable to spell 'Allah' and 'guidance' correctly.

Wow, your my hero, you got spell check or a dictionary close by. If you get every word spelled correctly, All you BS is deemed correct by the unemployed teachers assoc. How do you back up your BS when talking to a person face to face when you can't use that excuse. Did you get your log in name after you turn your back on people with rational converstions and they notice your jumbo----------. Couldn't find a dictionary to spell that word correctly either.

-------------------------------
Just another example of Romney supporters not being able to get their facts straight. Obama didn't buzz NYC. Obama was not even in the plane that made several low passes over Manhattan as part of a photo shoot.

Takes more than 7th grade math to balance the budget Mr. President.
http://www.americanthinker.com/video/201...
Come join President Obumer and his 11,000 supporters out of the 2,000,000 people in the valley to listen to his inspiring speach that will keep almost everyone on the edge of their seat. Thats almost everyone.
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video/bid...
There's a major problem in Obumers hopes for a return to the White House.
http://news.msn.com/us/update-sandy-thre...
The displacing of millions of democrates from their homeless shelters,welfare housing and soup lines will account for almost all the democrates in this area. Most of them will not be able to vote 2-20 times for Obumer.
I really like Obumers inspirational speaches were he calls for "a army of new teachers". Why doesn't he just put the army of unemployed teachers back to work instead?
All I know is that plenty of fine hard working union employees (including plenty of dues paying Teamsters) are unemployed. Obama has not helped them much. They will still be looking for work even if Obama is reelected. Obama talks a good game (thanks to his handlers and prepared speeches). Things are pretty dismal and getting worse. That does not speak well of President Obama. Plenty of union members are disillusioned and are voting for Romney. Union members think with their pocketbook and it is empty right now thanks to Obama.
Liberal Democrats think the political world started back in 2001 under President Bush...silly libs...and let me ask you if President Bush was such a dumb president how did he get so many policies passed from you smart libs? LOL....as for the dude teamster...he probably wears clothes made in China that he soooooo rallies against....and probably drives a foreign car...but he still needs to pick up my trash on Tuesday's...
Hey I wonder why teamster doesn't say anymore.....GM is still alive and Obama got Bin-Laden...maybe cause he know it isn't true ( for teamsters enjoy,ent it was the Navy SEALS that got him..not Obama )....I wonder if teamster has an Obama phone.....
If only he governed as hard as he campaigns.
I want to thank the sun for removing my post when i tell the truth people need to know you do this all the time........
Censorship is the suppression of speech or other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient as determined by a government, media outlet, or other controlling body.
Freak out Nevada Republicans.
I enjoy watching you all gag on the Romney kool-aid.
:-)))
Some people act as if no standing president has ever made a campaign trip.
As for a personal audience with Senator Reid, I am sure that there are literally thousands of people who would love to have one. Our representatives simply do not have the time to individually address everyone's concerns with a personal conversation. Try sending written correspondence like the rest of us.
It would be really nice is if Las Vegas could get ALL Americans to visit here TEN times a year and not just the President and GSA.
I think Obama auditioned for Donkey in Shrek, look here you can see him in the background. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIcHXgY0K...
Everyone needs to chill, you act like Obama is the first president to campaign on tax payer money.... Also you all complain about traffic, how many times have you been around him to get stuck in traffic? My guess is few maybes less than one can count on one hand...
Anybody that comes to vegas this much HAS A GAMBLING PROBLEM.
A competent President would be back east dealing with the horrible problems of Hurricane Sandy. Not this guy Obama. He could care less about this country as he would rather be campaigning. Same issue with Libya. Let him retire gracefully in January. I think the tide is turning and the voters will give Romney the majority vote.
Thank you Mr President for visiting our state, the election will be won by you. It is a sure bet, here are the odds by the british bookies:
http://www.oddschecker.com/specials/poli...
ohio odds:
http://www.oddschecker.com/specials/poli...
Can't find any on Nevada yet.
Also, since Obama is a more popular bet, they are tweeking the odds to Romney. They have been acurate for a long time, however they will make money no matter who wins.
http://linemakers.sportingnews.com/sport...
I wonder if those using the free phones for their street corner trades are aware that their calls can and are probably being tracked by the issuing party?
As for the Anointed One's visit yet again, it appears he has a particular interest in our town, and probably not just for getting re-elected. I wonder what her name is? Is he planning to retire here? The periodic visits are bad enough on trying to get around town and conduct business...what's it going to be like when/if he moves here after losing the election (as he will)?

No, sir, this house will NOT support another four more years of Harry Reid running this country.

Wait a minute, I thought we weren't supposed to "blow all our money" in places like Las Vegas Mr. President? Better to spend it at Jay-Z concerts and Knicks games, right?

Is that fundraiser in florida still going on? The one he had to leave early because it was deemed "non-presidential" for him to be there instead of DC when Sandy was bearing down? Perhaps he can stop there on his way to vegas. The next president will have to replace air force one.

Where did LongtimeVegan go? I was getting so amused by his rhetoric...he must have seen the latest polls where the 6-8 point Barackward polls have switched to Romney.
Hope your watching the 24 hour news cycle of the new Presidential cabinet. We have Jeb, Marco and the Honorable Governor Brian Sandoval to put this country back to it's greatness.
