Barack Obama, Denver | featured news

Denver police say it appears one shot has been fired at the Denver office of President Barack Obama's re-election campaign. Police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez tells The Denver Post no one was injured in the shooting Friday afternoon at the office on West Ninth Avenue near Acoma Street. A large panel of glass was left shattered.

President Obama is now happy to call it "Obamacare." Once a term of derision used mostly by Republicans who have vowed to repeal the new health care law, Obama deployed it in both of his Colorado appearances on Wednesday. "The Affordable Care Act -- also known as Obamacare," Obama said to applause from backers at the University of Denver.

"I actually like the name," he added. "Because I do care -- that's why we fought so hard to make it happen."
