Obama returns to Colorado for graduation speech at Air Force Academy, fundraiser

AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — President Barack Obama is making his second visit to Colorado in a month starting with a graduation speech at the Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs.

Obama arrived at Peterson Air Force base Thursday morning. After the Air Force graduation, he'll head to Denver for a fundraiser.

It's his second visit to Colorado in a month. The president visited the University of Colorado in Boulder in late April to talk about lower-cost student loans.

Obama's appearance at the Air Force Academy comes days after a NATO summit in Chicago where the U.S. and its allies firmed up plans for withdrawing from Afghanistan at the end of 2014.
