Senior Obama campaign officials said Mitt Romney will likely get a boost from the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida next week–but it wont last long. With the Democratic convention following the GOP gathering one week later in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Obama campaign feels confident the attention surrounding their convention will halt any momentum Romney may gain as the new nominee. – Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @PoliticalTicker – Check out the CNN Electoral Map and Calculator and game out your own strategy for November. "Whatever there is, I think we can blunt that pretty quickly," one official said Thursday while speaking with reporters at CNN. Former President Bill Clinton will give the nominating address to Obama on the final night of the convention, a move that had some critics questioning whether the 42nd president–who now has higher approval ratings than the current occupant of the Oval office–would overshadow Obama. The campaign said they had no concerns of Clinton outshining the president. A top surrogate for Obama this year, Clinton starred in a new television ad released Thursday for the re-election campaign. In the spot, Clinton compares his economic policies to that of Obama, saying "We need to keep going with his plan." Explaining their decision to highlight Clinton, a campaign official said theyre not trying to use him as a reminder of "the good ol days," but as a "validator" of their own policies. "Hes a great validator of what we want. Hes viewed as an expert on how to move the economy forward and how to build it from the middle class out," one official said. "There are few people who can speak to that authoritatively, and hes one of them–because hes done it. Hes sat in the chair." First lady Michelle Obama will also have a headlining role at the convention, as shes set to speak on opening night, Sept. 4. Campaign officials said the first lady helps augment the campaigns strategy to use the convention as a way to show "what drives (the president) every day." "What we really want to spend some time doing is talking about how he makes his decisions, how he understands the middle class, how he gets that, what drives him every day," an official said. "And we think that Mrs. Obama has a great point of view on that." The campaign also dispelled rumors that the presidents two daughters will be speaking about their father on stage, saying the girls will appear the final night but will be in school the rest of the week. With North Carolina as a crucial battleground state this cycle –Obama narrowly won the state in 2008– the campaign said they expect the convention to make big returns for the president at the polls this November. They said the location of the site was a "statement on the fact that the president expanded the map of traditional Democratic territory in 2008." They credited last cycles gathering in Denver as a big factor in Obamas victory in a typically red state for presidential elections. "The campaign really did an incredible job four years ago leveraging the convention to help win Colorado, and were going to apply all those lessons and skills to this one," one official said. During a briefing earlier in the day with reporters, the campaign also weighed in on some of the religious aspects of the DNC. The convention will feature an invocation and a benediction every night, with chosen speakers to represent a large portion of the Democratic base. An official said one speaker will be a high-ranking member of the Catholic Church but did not disclose the name. "I cant announce it because the person hasnt gotten their plane ticket but I think theyre going to do it," the official said. The campaign also took the time to contrast the two upcoming conventions. While the platform at the DNC will "look and sound like America," distractions will be on full display at the RNC, they said. One official pointed specifically to a tent featuring former Republican presidential candidates Herman Cain and Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota. The best outcome for the RNC, they said, is for the party to "survive the week because of the side shows." As for reports that the Romney campaign has called in consultants to help repackage and reintroduce their candidate to the American public at their convention, one campaign official expressed skepticism that efforts to redefine someone whos been so well-covered will be successful. "I think its a doubtful proposition that the new dog food will sell any better than the old dog food," the official said. – CNNs Ashley Killough, Gabriella Schwarz and Adam Aigner-Treworgy contributed to this report.

Obamas Inaccurate Desperate Ad?

2/16/2008 Fact Check: Sen. Obamas Inaccurate Desperate Ad "Desperate" "After 18 debates with 2 more coming, Hillary says Barack Obama is ducking debates? It’s the same old politics. Here’s the truth." "Obama has a plan to protect social security benefits & the current retirement age. Hillary doesnt." [On screen: Obama has plan to protect benefits & Retirement age DNC Debate, 9/26/07] Hillary has a plan to address social security: she wants to return to fiscal responsibility first. "Dont you believe all these people running around crying wolf about Social Security. That is exactly what theyre doing. Theyre trying to get people confused and upset and agree to a bad deal. When I am president, well have our priorities in order. We will return to fiscal responsibility and fair tax policies first, and then we will address the long-term challenges facing Social Security. When my husband left office, because we had a balanced budget and a surplus, there was a plan in place to extend the solvency of Social Security until 2055. That gives us plenty of time to figure out what else we need to do." [Hillary’s Remarks, 10/9/07] Hillary will create bipartisan process to address social security to address social security. "But I am strongly advocating a bipartisan process, similar to what we had in 83, and when that gets set up, as I hope it will be when Im president, then Im going to see what the bipartisan members are going to come up with." [Washington Post, 10/9/07] Economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman praises Hillary’s approach. KRUGMAN: Yeah, Social Security, if you go through the federal government, piece-by-piece, and ask which programs are seriously under-funded and which are close to being completely funded, Social Security is one of the best. Its not even for certain that Social Security has a problem. Why on earth - and, of course, its something that the right has always wanted to kill, not because it doesnt work, but because it does. And for Obama to go after this program, at this time, you just have to wonder. All of my progressive friends are saying what on Earth is going through his mind to raise this issue. STEPHANOPOULOS: So you think basically the Hillary Clinton position, which we take care of it by fiscal responsibility, and basically itll take care of itself, we can look at some small fixes is the right one? KRUGMAN: Yeah. She is. [ABC This Week, 10/28/07] Obama agreed with Hillary’s approach, before he released an ad criticizing it. Everything should be on the table. I think we should approach it the same way Tip ONeill and Ronald Reagan did back in 1983. They came together. I dont want to lay out my preferences beforehand, but what I know is that Social Security is solvable. It is not as difficult a problem as were going to have with Medicaid and Medicare. [ABC This Week, 5/14/07] "On health care, even Bill Clinton’s Labor Secretary says Obama covers more people than Hillary." [On screen: Obama covers more people than Hillary Robert Reich Clinton Labor Secretary] Health Care experts agree, Obamas plan leaves at least 15 million people out. Paul Krugman: Clinton’s plan ‘would cover almost twice as many of those now uninsured as a plan resembling Mr. Obamas. "Specifically, new estimates say that a plan resembling Mrs. Clinton’s would cover almost twice as many of those now uninsured as a plan resembling Mr. Obamas... And both plans seek to make insurance affordable to lower-income Americans. The Clinton plan is, however, more explicit about affordability, promising to limit insurance costs as a percentage of family income. And it also seems to include more funds for subsidies. [New York Times, 2/4/08] Concord Monitor: ‘Gruber estimated that 15 million people would remain uninsured under Obamas plan."Jonathan Gruber, a health economist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology who worked on the Massachusetts plan, said a mandate means "the difference between universal or near-universal coverage. Obama would have a large expansion, better than anything the Republicans have, but not universal coverage," Gruber said. "You cant get it without a mandate; its just not possible." Gruber estimated that 15 million people would remain uninsured under Obamas plan." [Concord Monitor, 12/26/07] Len Nichols, Jonathan Gruber and Mark Pauly: even with other cost saving measures and a child mandate, we think that it is very likely that a least 15 million American would remain uninsured. "Recent estimates suggest that a plan with uniform generous subsidies but without a mandate would cover no more than one-half of the uninsured in the U.S. Even with other cost-saving measures and a child mandate, we think that it is very likely that at least 15 million Americans would remain uninsured." [New America Foundation Policy Brief, 12/06/07] Jonathan Holohan of the Urban Institute: Obama would still leave about 22 million, 23 million, but he has a mandate for children, about 9 million uninsured kids, so assuming you get most of them, you get pretty close to 15 million. [New Republic, 12/03/07] Wall Street Journal: Mrs. Clinton charges that Mr. Obamas plan would leave 15 million people without insurance. Outside experts agree that number is in the ballpark. [Wall Street Journal, 12/04/07] Washington Post: ‘The Obama plan could leave a third of those currently uninsured lacking coverage.’ [Washington Post, 6/9/07] "And Obama sponsored a bill to end tax breaks for oil companies." [On screen: End tax breaks for oil companies Senate Bill 115 1/4/07] Obama voted for Bushs 2005 energy bill that contained $6 billion in oil and gas subsidies. In 2005, Obama voted twice for Bushs Energy Bill, HR 6. It contained $6 billion in oil and gas subsidies. Hillary voted against the bill. [HR 6, Votes #212 and #213, 7/29/05; Public Citizen, 8/2005] Public Citizen: ‘Reflecting the fact that energy companies helped write this legislation, the energy bill lavishes these lucrative corporations with billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies.’ [Public Citizen, "The Best Energy Bill Corporations Could Buy," citizen.org] Thomas Friedman: This bill is what the energy expert Gal Luft calls the sum of all lobbies. [Thomas Friedman, New York Times, 8/5/05] Washington Post: "The energy bill, touted as a way to reduce dependence on foreign oil or moderate gasoline prices, has been turned into a piñata of perks for energy industries."

Answer: The attack ads just started... Hillary started them... cause she has to STOP him You and I know, every reporter knows, every news station knows this to be true. It was a nice friendly campaign till...Obama won 8, yes eight straight. Hillary went MAD. Crazy. It is MUST WIN for her now. She is out of control. Calling for a debate every week. Obama is in the lead...and he prefers to MEET THE PEOPLE He is not a household name - like Hillary. He speaks well He prefers, and you would too, to do what you do best. There have been 18 debates, 1 = one on one, and 2 more are and WHERE schedule before the attack ads for next week in OHIO and TEXAS... she had not even BEEN to Wisconsin when she started SLINGING the BS. This is what you do when you are running scared. Obama is just fighting back and each side... will slant there attacks...to best fit their issues and get them the vote. Its called politics. What is funny...One can get sued...for slander, false advertisement, whatever... but in Politics... you can tell an outright lie... a total lie put it on TV and its LEGAL.... Not nice but legal. BAD POLITICS
