BOULDER, Colo. — President Barack Obama has a message for college students who don't like Republican Mitt Romney: "Don't boo. Vote."
The Democratic candidate on Sunday took his campaign message to the University of Colorado in Boulder, a liberal enclave in a state seen as a critical battleground this November. With rolled shirt sleeves, Obama cast the election as a chance for young Americans to ensure that his health care law is enacted and women and gay rights are protected.
He told the cheering crowd that Americans are greater together than they are on their own and that, in his words, "we've come too far to turn back now."
When the crowd booed at the mention of Romney's name, Obama urged them to vote and then referred them to a voter registration website.

Memo to Obama; College students aren’t booing Romney; they are booing you because they can’t find a job even after they graduate! They boo you because they have to move back in with their parents while staring at a faded Obama poster More..
Each vote costs us $30,000 while Obama promises them student loan forgiveness.
Although the source is obscure, this sentiment is a truism: A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves More..
Hmmm? Trillions added to the debt in the past three and a half years. It's enough to provide college tuition and healthcare to all college students and American citizens.
Obama! What happened to the money?
