2:00 pm
welcome back to the cnn news room. so it's a fundraising marathon for president obama. he is attending five events today in chicago with ticket prices ranging from $51 to $40,000. he just wrapped up his second event, a fundraising rally to a crowd of young voters. the president had this to say about mitt romney's new running
2:01 pm
mate, congressman paul ryan. >> i want to congratulate congressman ryan. i know him. i welcome him to the race. congressman ryan is a decent man. he is a family man. he is an articulate spokesman for governor romney's vision. but it's a vision that i fundamentally disagree with. >> cnn's athena jones is outside the rally. the president said the vision has something of the likes of fairy dust in it. >> reporter: it was a big 20 minute speech or so. the first public remarks we have seen from the president responding to romney's choice of congressman ryan. we don't know what he told the first fundraiser of the day which was closed to press completely.
2:02 pm
he says he likes paul ryan. they are trying to link romney to ryan's budget proposals which they say are radical and aren't good for ordinary people talking about slashing spending on programs and making changes to medicare and medicaid. he was trying to rev up the crowd as you mentioned. this was the event geared more towards young people. the tickets cost $51 which is the birthday the president celebrated earlier this month. the crowd saying happy birthday to him. he is off to three more events. five fundraisers in one town. i don't know if he has done this before. i tried to ask the campaign that. it is rare and this is the city to do it, rev up the hometown crowd and get cash. >> and then on his way to iowa to spend a significant amount of time there. >> reporter: that's right.
2:03 pm
he heads to iowa tomorrow. he will have a seven-city tour. it is almost as if the primary campaign from 2007. iowa is the state that obama won in 2008. right now polls are showing it looks like a toss up. it has six electoral votes. it is the state where it began for president obama before he won the caucus. his candidacy was seen as a long shot campaign. they want to keep the state in the blue column. >> athena jones in chicago. thanks so much. >> members of the democratic national committee are trailing mitt romney's bus tour with a bus tour of their own. their logo reads romney economics, the middle class under the bus. this weekend they pulled in to raleigh to stage this demonstration but romney wasn't
2:04 pm
there. the republican presidential candidate cancelled his appearance to fit in a stop in wisconsin. the mayor of minneapolis was there and blasted the gop ticket's tax policies. >> it's clear what we have now is a team that says that it's really a great idea to make massive ts to the very, very wealthy at the expense of the middle class. >> mitt romney is promoting his economic vision on his bus tour. he and his new running mate, paul ryan made two stops today in north carolina, the second stop in the four state tour. jim acosta is there. >> reporter: with paul ryan a little more than 24 hours in his role there is a race to define the wisconsin congressman with democrats stepping up their attacks and noting ryan posed a partial -- described ryan as
2:05 pm
someone who came to washington in his late 20s when he was elected to congress. here is what romney had to say earlier today. >> he planned on doing something else with his career but he looked at the country and recognized the real challenges we had and decided to make a difference. and so he went to washington not to get along with everybody but instead to bring new ideas and help bring people together on both sides of the aisle. he recognizes there are sometimes honest differences between honest people. he went there to chang minds and find people across the aisle he can work with. >> reporter: obama campaign senior strategist said ryan is a right wing audio log. they will be campaigning together in wisconsin where the campaign is billing as a homecoming for paul ryan. and then ryan goes out on his
2:06 pm
own campaigning in iowa on monday, the same day president obama will be in the state. jim acosta, cnn. >> who is paul ryan? we will have details on the man mitt romney picked as vice president this evening. new york city police shot and killed a man who they say was wielding a knife near times square. the incident happened in an area popular with tourists and shoppers. police say they approached the man because he was approaching what appears to be a marijuana cigarette when they say the man waved this six inch blade at them and advanced on the officers. a witness explains what happened next. we don't have that witness account. the officers involved in the shooting are on administrative duty while the incident is being

2:08 pm
because enbrel, etanercept, suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. [ phil ] get back to the things that matter most. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. [ doctor ] enbrel, the number one biolog medicine prescribed by rheumatologists.

2:12 pm
notuber thrilled with the results. i'm very pleased with my effort. i had a lot of setbacks. the injuries kept coming and i fought through it all. i made the team and when a lot of people said i wouldn't make the olympic team. so i'm just really proud of myself. it wasn't the fastest time i ran in my life but the fastest this year. >> you are an inspiration in so many ways. i know there is tremendous pressure an olympian puts on oneself, the coaches, corporate sponsors. from which has the pressure really been the toughest? >> well, i think you hit all of them. they are all kind of equal. you have the corporate sponsor that invest in you and make the journey financially possible. without them you can't train or travel. you have the pressure to help make sure that you are making

2:20 pm
first prayer service. >> so special. it felt so wonderful. watching people entering the new center. remembering what they used to say. i was looking to the children and so many of them went through a rough time. so many of them have doubt about this facility existing and us being able to bring in the new facility. i was enjoying the children smiling and laughing because for a while those children couldn't be excited about this project because of what we have been through. i was looking to an older member of the community and the new facility because actually they used to say we are not sure if we will be able to have the new facility. it felt so good and so right. >> how hurtful has it been that

opponents of the mosque or the prayer center have expressed concerns about radical messages that might be spread within the confines of the building and within the community. do you feel like you have helped change the minds and feel like you have to convey to people the kinds of messages that you speak saying these are messages of peace that you are spreading within this mosque? >> it is a part of the american dream. it is american society. they are a member of the country. they contribute, pay taxes and share what we have in mind with others. we said to people so many times our door remains open and we welcome any criticism and we are open to any kinds of questions

today is an emotional day for american sikhs especially those in wisconsin. worshippers held their first prayer service since the gunman killed six people. the temple added extra security. tonight in lafayette park across from the white house there will be a candle light vigil for the victims in wisconsin.
2:26 pm
tragedy at that sikh temple focused many people's attention on what some see as growing religious tension in the u.s. on friday a mosque opened in tennessee. just last week a mosque in joplin, missouri was burned to the ground, its second fire in a month. i'm joined by reza aslan. you can't really make sense of all of these things happening. does it speak to the tolerance or lack thereof in this country and if it is building? >> there is no question that violent crimes against muslim communities and against sikhs have been on the rise over the last few years. the thing that is important to understand, however, is that this isn't an accident. this is a result of a very well
2:27 pm
organized, well funded individuals and organizations that have spent some $43 million trying to convince americans that muslims despite being less than 1% of the population of the united states are on the verge of a total takeover of this country. >> when things like this were happening immediately following 9/11 that was the event that was being blamed. but now so many years far removed what is happening? >> antimuslim sentiment in this country is far higher today than the immediate after math of 9/11. it's not just that -- part of it has to do with the islamic phobia that has made this the common cause. more importantly is that it has become mainstream. we have politicians like michele bachmann taking part. we have mainstream politicians
2:28 pm
like newt gingrich saying he wouldn't have muslims serve on his cabinet anymore than nazis. when we have this mainstream of antimuslim sentiment it is natural that those on the fringes are going to react with the violence we saw this last week. >> do you see it worsening before it gets better? >> i think the only way it gets better is if people of faith, christians, jews especially realize that this is not an attack on sikhs or muslims. this is an attack on america. religious freedom isn't just one of our rights in this country. it is the right up on which this very country was founded. anyone who sees religious minorities whether sikhs or jews or muslims or whatever as unamerican is attacking this country and that we cannot put up with anymore. instead of rewarding this antimuslim sentiment as we tent
