Despite Libyan Crisis, Obama Campaign Plans to Stay on Schedule

By JIM RUTENBERG

LAS VEGAS – President Obama may be consumed with an international crisis, but the campaign goes on as planned, at least at this point. The president is still scheduled to start a Western campaign swing Wednesday night, with a rally here in Las Vegas and another in Colorado on Thursday.

Mr. Obama’s aides indicated that he would have reconsidered his trip had the violence in Libya and Egypt spilled into a second day in a major way. But with any follow-up protests remaining relatively modest, the president will monitor events from Air Force One as he makes his way here, aides said.  (Emphasis mine, of course.)

Yeah, so fuck you, Tunisia. I've got an election to win.

Rioters at the U.S. Embassy in Tunis, Tunisia. You're on your own.
Beloved Leader has voted present.

From the White House:

U.S. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney:

"[The violence] is in response not to United States policy, not, obviously, to the administration, not to the American people -- it is in response to a video, a film, that we have judged to be reprehensible, disgusting. That in no way justifies any violent reaction to it. But this is not a case of protest directed at the United States writ large or U.S. policy -- this is in response to a video that is offensive to Muslims."
