President Barack Obama’s Wednesday afternoon speech in Las Vegas is being delayed by about 45 minutes, according to the White House.
Obama had been scheduled to speak at 5:25 p.m. at a campaign rally at the Cashman Center in downtown Las Vegas. He will now deliver his speech at 6:10 p.m., according to an updated schedule released Wednesday morning.
The president was forced to alter his schedule to comment on a Tuesday attack on the American Embassy in Libya that killed four people, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, the White House Press Office said.
No other event details have changed, and doors will still open to the public at 3 p.m., according to an Obama campaign official.
Wednesday’s visit will be Obama’s eighth trip to Nevada this year.
Nice to see a silly thing like the murder of our Ambassador didn't effect Obama's campaign.
No time for Israel but Obama can make it to the set of the Letterman show again.
This is unseemly and dangerous for the entire world
Obama 2012 = Carter 1980.
neiman1, my thoughts exactly.
This guy is unbelievable.
Obama should be working on running this country instead of campaigning for office. Obama does not really care about anything other than keeping himself in the White House. A more competent person would have cancelled this trip and stayed at the White House. Why anyone would vote for Obama is beyond me. I voted for Obama the last time but no way would I vote for him this time. No way.
Air Force One flying to Nellis or McCarran? Time?
Why is everyone who wants to talk about the POTUS every time all ways in the negative? My fellow Nevada's some are very insecure it seems.
Though I will not be able to attend the gathering today, I welcome the POTUS.
LOL love me some bagger logic. Let's see, a far right bible thumping teabagger makes a video that creates the mess that happened yesterday. And yet it's all Obama's fault. What exactly was Obama supposed to do to prevent this? And why is virtually everyone, including most republicans, castigating Romney for his ridiculous and juvenile attempt to scold the President? Call me crazy, but with Obama's penchant for vaporizing most of Al Qeada from the face of the earth, I wouldn't be feeling too safe right now if I were involved in this attack. Or perhaps you think Obama should start calling his shots in the media in advance and tell these terrorists where and when he plans to turn them into a grease spot? Why do teabaggers hate America so much?
Why are some imbeciles fixated on the term "teabagging?"
Because the tea party bags on everything to the point that the tantrums are as meaningful as a bad porn movie?
I wouldn't be feeling too safe right now if I were involved in this attack.
Got news for you jahreb, they don't care what we think over here, thats the problem.
Oh yeh nobody I know of is blaming the President. Haven't read one thing about anyone saying it was his fault. Why do you hate America so much you spew lies about others?
Cancel this trip Mr. President.
Take care of those in the Middle East who hate America and what we stand for
Obama cares about re election only...The more people he can keep jobless & on welfare the more democratic voters their will be.
OBAMA PROMISED HE WOULD LOWER UNEMPLOYMENT..
Here is the acid test, the bottom line on Obama and the Democrats impact on jobs.
When the Democrats took control of congress in January 2007, the unemployment rate was 4.6 percent.
When Obama took control of the White House in January 2009, the unemployment rate was 7.8 percent.
The stated current unemployment rate is 8.3 percent.
That is job creation???

And that is not all.
The Labor Force Participation Rate has dropped. If that rate had not dropped, the unemployment rate would have been significantly higher.
When the Democrats took control of congress in January 2007, the Labor Force Participation Rate 66.4 percent.
When Obama took control of the White House in January 2009, the Labor Force Participation Rate was 65.7 percent.
The Labor Force Participation Rate currently is 63.7 percent.

AFTER 4 YEARS OF OBAMA HE'S MADE THING'S MUCH WORSE...In Obama's own words he said "if he did not lower the unemployment rate he would be a one term President"....
As America awakes to the news that In Egypt the American embassy has been overrun and in Libya the America embassy was bombed and the American ambassador murdered by al Qaeda --- Obama flew to Las Vegas for a campaign money stop. So much for the 3:00 am crisis that Obama fended off with a smirk during the 2008 election
Obama is running on Osama bin Laden is dead. But al Qaeda is alive.
Hamid Karzai is kicking Obama out of Afghanistan to allow the Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar to return in triumph.
And Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has kicked Obama out of Iraq so he can allow Iran to fly weapons into the Assad Syria.
Following efforts in Egypt, Afghanistan, Yemen, Bahrain, Sudan, Syria, and other middle East places Obama is looking for another Regime Change under his watch. So far we have no idea who will take over in these countries. The Muslim Brotherhood supported by Obama is seemingly overwhelming any moderate Muslims.
there goes rush hour traffic!
It's good to know the fundraising won't be cancelled in lieu of the ambassador's murder.
