Compiled by STATE BILL COLORADO
WITH HIS CAMPAIGN STOP in the Denver suburb of Aurora on Thursday, President Barack Obama courted a voting bloc that is key to determining who wins the presidential contest in the swing state of Colorado. The Post’s Bartels called Obama’s speech “hushed and rushed.”
WHO ATTENDED: The president spoke to a crowd of about 400 invited guests, a mix of active-duty troops and energy students, businesspeople and VIPs such as former Gov. Bill Ritter. About 200 soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines sat opposite the TV cameras under a blue sign bearing Obama’s new slogan from the State of the Union, “An America built to last.”
SPOTTED, BESIDES RITTER: Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, Lt. Governor Joe Garcia, State Senator Morgan Carroll, recent Denver mayoral candidate James Mejia and Secretary of the Air Force, Michael Donley,
WHAT OBAMA WANTS: 10 gigawatts.
CRITICIZED OBAMA VISIT: Ramirez, Szabo.
