President Obama: 'Don't Boo—Vote!' - Las Vegas, Nevada

President Obama ended his two-day tour of Ohio and Nevada with a grassroots event in Las Vegas. In Las Vegas, President Obama discussed the choice in this election between two fundamentally different visions of how to grow the economy, create middle-class jobs, pay down the debt and invest in quality, affordable education.

probably the best three words anyone has ever said in this election

The point is that booing doesn't accomplish anything. Showing disapproval in the voting booth does. Sure they can do more than one thing at a time, but only the vote is going to change something. Many people vote for the presidency, but then don't vote for their Congressman or Senator. It's important for people to vote in those elections as well. Every 2 years, not just every 4.

I love it when the president says, "Don't boo." and lets the audience fill in the rest of it.

Unfortunately a lot of people do boo without ever voting. Nearly 40% of eligible citizens didn't vote in 2008. That number is even higher for congressional, state, and local elections.

Go for Obama! Wonderful statement. I agree with 'Sam Bogerd' that this should be his campaign motto.

[Autumn-Muse]

I don't think Obama was saying that they can't voice disapproval. I think he was mostly trying to rally his supporters with a good quip.

That's my president!

OBAMA 2012!

[PumaOPumaOPumaO]

I don't get how people can't support this guy. Go Obama!

[crocodylus]

Vote and keep voting. After losing a few elections, our Republican friends may feel compelled to make some changes to their platform.

[ReliableInsider]

President Obama is so right. We've got to get every person in the country to vote this year. Two years ago, the majority of eligible voters didn't vote at all. That's a huge pool of potential people who have been discouraged or intimidated into not participating in democracy. Go out and reach them. They can change everything.

Obama is the man. I'm not an American, but I really admire him and am convinced that he's the true leader!

A beautiful message of civility. Obama 2012, or disaster. I don't care what political party you're a part of, Romney/Ryan is nothing but bad news for this country. This video is just one reason why we should be delighted to vote for an honest, compassionate, measured, inspiring, strong, inteligent, and virtuous man. FORWARD.

[Theatheistpov]

has anyone else noticed that obama's youtube videos are comment enabled, and Romney's the comments are disabled?

[rubik]

It would have been better (for Romney) if Obama said that before Romney got booed in the NAACP convention.

[MiPicoteo]

Yes Obama 2012 .Si por Obama 2012 Votaremos para la reeleccion....

[DarkLordofHistory]

I'm in full agreement with the President. Healthy argument is okay, but it's better to vote him into office instead of just booing Romney.

[iceddie]

I've gotten 4 people to register to vote.

[Candorhavoc]

Why boo at all? Booing Romney gives Romney supporters credence to do the same to Obama, not to mention booing any political figure just hurts civil political discourse in general. US politics is polarized enough as it is.

[dstillRO]

lol, i did the same thing, all over again for every person behind him. You are not alone :))

I'm not bad with most Republicans. I would have voted McCain in 2008. He was against same-sex marriage though...
