Obama heads west to raise money, energize liberals

11^min

President Barack Obama took his newly combative message to the liberal West Coast on Sunday, aiming to re-energize faithful Democratic voters who have grown increasingly disenchanted with him.

The three-day trip, ending Tuesday in Denver, comes as Obama has shifted from seeking compromise with Republicans in Congress to calling out House Speaker John Boehner and others by name.

The president has criticized them as obstructionists and demanded their help in passing his $447 billion jobs bill. This approach is a relief to Democratic activists fed up by what they viewed as the president's ceding of ground to the Republicans on tax cuts and other issues when the economy has stalled and unemployment is stuck above 9 percent.
