Or, to hide.

[MNlurker]

Great way of pulling up stakes in a state you have no hope of winning.

[SIRTRIS]

Didn’t Obama monitor Benghazi too?

[goldstategop]

Just as well they found an excuse.

Colorado Springs and El Paso County are deep Red - the GOP bastion of CO.

Why a Democratic President would even schedule time bothering to campaign there is mystery only known to Obama Campaign staffers.

[Venturer]

Hiding in the basement probably.

[OKSooner]

Monitor it in "real time", I assume?

[SERKIT]

...but couldn’t cancel a fund-raiser in Las Vegas (a place put on the 'no travel list' earlier in his Presidency) during an historic attack on a US consulate where the US Amabassador and 3 other Americans were murdered? Right....

[Joe 6-pack]

How many drones will he send to do this?

[twister881]

Monitor, as in monitoring the terrorist attack in Libya, refusing a military response, going to bed, allowing Americans to die, and flying to Vegas for fundraising? Coward-monitoring.

"Y'all let me know when the Hurricane's gone, OK?"

[darkwing104]

Translation...Couldn't get a crowd larger than Romney's

[manic4organic]

Maybe he can call in a drone strike and kill Sandy.

[SoftwareEngineer]

My my! What a “coincidence” that he cancels events in CO and VA, just as they slip away for good from him

Hmmm.... Yes.. it was Hurricane Sandy that made him cancel the visit in Colorado...

Mark my words, NC, FL, CO and VA have been written off by the President’s team

It is now defending OH, WI, IA and NH. That is their firewall.

The President has to sweep all four of them. The Governor on the other hand can any three of them or just OH

In addition, I truly believe MI will be the shock of the night.

PA, MN, OR stand out as possibilities if the Governor reaches the 53% mark nationally

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Obama knows he is toast!!! He is not interested in campaigning....he just wants to play POTUS, fly around in his “personal” Jet aircraft, hang out with Letterman, Leno, the View gals, MTV, etc. The last thing in the world he wants to do or be is the “real” POTUS. End of story!!!

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

it took 4 years for him to let “doing is job” get in the way of a campaign event?

[SnuffaBolshevik]

"The rally that was scheduled in Colorado Springs’ Red Rock Canyon Open Space park on Tuesday...."

He probably doesn't want people to contrast the huge Red Rock rally for Romney with the lesser crowd he would probably attract.

[yldstrk]

no one was coming and it would have been contrasted poorly with Romneys HUGE GIGANTIC crowds at the same forum

[fatnotlazy]

He probably has a golf game scheduled for sometime this week. Worried about whether he should cancel.

I’m sure the people of Colorado Springs are heartbroken.

[liberalh8ter]

Cancel Colorado for storm but continue with Vegas while embassy was stormed. Priorities, priorities.

[txrefugee]

They knew their rally would not compare favorably with the over-the-top Romney Rally at Red Rocks that Gina, a caller who had attended, reported to Rush’s show last week. She gave a great synopsis of the enormous gathering of super-enthusiastic voters that attended.

Perhaps Obama’s people caught that show and knew their own rally would flop. After all, his voters don’t walk miles uphill for anything that doesn’t end with them getting free stuff.

[nuconvert]

Colo Spgs is republican. It’s a good place for him to skip so he can ‘’look presidential’’ in the wake of Sandy.
