President Obama Live in Boulder

Here's the live stream for President Obama's appearance in Boulder today. He is just beginning. "Hello Colorado."

President Obama stopped for breakfast at The Buff restaurant.

Obama ordered the Ole Skillet, which includes red skinned potatoes, chili verde jalapenos, white onions, tomatoes, cheddar cheese and two eggs a with side of toast

Reminds me of when Blagojevich stopped to eat on his way to FCI Englewood.

Obama stayed at the Westin in Westminister last night. Quips from his speech below:

Obama Care: "I like the name, I do care."

"I guess you could call it Romney doesn't care."

Speaks in favor of gay marriage, women's right to choice, and the Dream Act.

Romney had nothing to say about Afghanistan. No plan for the 33,000 troops who have come home from there.

I said we'd end the Iraq war and we did. I said we'd take out Bin Laden and we did. We will have all troops home from Afghanistan by 2014. We will serve our veterans as much as they served us.

Obama ended his speech, Bruce Springsteen's "We Take Care of our Own" played for the crowd, and he greeted Senator Benett and Gov. Hickenlooper:

Then he waded out into the throngs of people with the music still playing and greeted them and shook hands for about 10 minutes.

Consider Boulder energized. His message was, it's up to you what happens so get out and vote and tell everyone else to do the same.

And he's off to the next stop.

    is that he says nothing to encourage his audiences to vote for down-ticket Democrats. Control of the Iowa Senate is at stake in this election, and if Democrats don't keep their majority, the Medicaid expansion (which is one of the best parts of "Obamacare") is not going to happen. That means about 150,000 Iowans (5 percent of the state's population) won't be covered.

    Obama said nothing in Iowa yesterday about electing more Democrats to serve in Congress or the state legislature.

    He didn't do that in 2008 either (none / 0) (#12)

    And maybe that's the plan - if the Republicans take over the Senate and keep the House, he can continue the argument that they are being mean and won't let him do any of his great plans.

    This, unfortunately, is not a new M.O. for him.
