brianna?porter: obviously in this case they were trying to use clint east wood to attract the white male vote which is very important to mitt romney and president obama struggles with. this was a very interesting speech, i think is the diplom diplomatic way to put it. strange and uncomfortable as eastwood talked to a chair as if it was president obama. >> i know you were against the war in iraq and that's okay but you thought the war in afghanistan was okay, you thought that was something that was worth doing. we didn't check with the russians to see how they did there for the ten years. but it -- we did it. >> reporter: now, john, i thought it was interesting, i was watching the twittersphere and it was blowing up with people talking about invisible obama. you know who tweeted? president oobama's staff, it wa a picture of him in a chair in a cabinet meeting and said this seat is taken. they pushed back but on a more serious note something that struck any, clint eastwood talked about afghanist

but brianna, the white house correspondent, wants to make a point.s going to say, wolf, i think it is interesting. today we heard from the campaign that they're not familiar with the personal story of joe soptic, but we know there's this conference call, so there at least is some familiarity. joe soptic appeared in a campaign ad in may. when i spoke to him yesterday, told me he was asked by the campaign to appear at events in battleground states. it seems like up until now with this super pac ad running, the campaign hasn't run from joe soptic's story. it makes me wonder how well the president is served by the ad that's supposed to be helping him. i am following him in colorado, he was talking about women's issues, the white house trying to make a case about a romney ad on welfare they say is very unfair, a lot of fact checkers agreed, and instead this is what we're talking about. it makes me wonder if it serves the president well and how widely it will air. >> bill, go ahead. >> what brianna is suggesting is that there would be some sort of coordina

cnn's brianna keilar is trailing the president in colorado springs.he president targeting today? >> reporter: well, it's not as obvious today who he's targeting, because his message yesterday, alina, was very much about women, but no doubt he is targeting the hispanic vote. it's very important here in colorado. and you can just look at the visuals of today to really see that. and actually, to that point, ken salazar, one of the most prominent members of his cabinet, former colorado senator, is about to take the stage to warm up the crowd here in colorado springs, as he did earlier today in pueblo. president obama woke up in pueblo. he went to a tex-mex restaurant, got a burrito. i mean, he is courting the hispanic vote, and you can really understand why, alina, when you look at poll numbers. the most recent poll that we've seen, the quinnipiac university/cbs news/"new york times" poll has him trailing mitt romney overall five points in colorado. but he's got a 40-point lead. >> that quinnipiac poll that came out yesterday, brianna, as you know, the pr

. >> and brianna, i understand that the white house has announced thatly give more humanitarian relief to the syrian people, and do we know what kind of significant number this is? and what this really represents? >> they announced and this is about the time that annan's resignation was breaking a short time ago that they will be giving $12 million more in assistance, and that brings the number closer to $100 million total they have given, but as you know the white house and the obama administration very careful to not really be involved in any sort of military way. they are relying on the allies, and their arab allies to be providing material assistance and arms to the syrian rebels. we do know that the president signed an intelligence finding which allows covert assistance to syrian rebels, but they are keeping it very much under wraps, and exactly what that might be, and they are obviously at a time when the president is in an election year, and the electorate is war-weary, the white house wants the make sure it is not talking about military intervention, but at the same time, suzan

cnn's brianna keilar joining me live from tampa. you got the great assignment there, brianna. go over this speech in particular because really, paul ryan hammered the president on debt and medicare around general motors, among a lot of other things but let's start with medicare, that oft argued point about $700 billion and who is gutting what. walk me through the speech and where it was right and where it might have been wrong. >> that's right. paul ryan, we have heard him and the romney campaign before, ashleigh, as you know, say president obama has cut $716 from medicare and the benefits that seniors rely on. here is what he said last night. >> $716 billion funneled out of medicare by president obama. an obligation we have to our parents and grandparents is being sacrificed all to pay for a new entitlement we didn't even ask for. >> reporter: to be clear, ashleigh, it is debatable what is meant by cuts here, i guess could you say cuts but it is a cut in the growth of medicare spending and these are not cuts to guaranteed medicare benefits, although republicans do argue that

thanks brianna keilar for that report. we're going to talk about mitt romney's not so secret weapon, his wife, ann romney. ron johnson is our guest and from the obama camp we'll talk to debbie wasserman-shultz. first let's get right to christine romans with an update on other stories making news today. >>> two bodies have been recovered from a flooded plaquemines parish home. isaac is now a weakening tropical depression slowly moving north but in its wake, entire neighborhoods are under water and hundreds of thousands of people without power still this hour. rob marciano live from new orleans where they are making a difficult transition into recovery mode this morning, aren't they? >> reporter: they are, especially outside the city, they are doing it amongst a lot of water. yesterday i had the opportunity to do a fly-over with the coast guard. they have a ton of barges and tankers that have run aground in many cases. also on the that flight, a colonel from the army corps of engineers assessing the levee system to see how t

brianna's joining us right now.p of voters, today, tell us about that. >> reporter: that's right, wolf. it was very obvious he was courting women voters yesterday. it's not quite as tailored to the hispanic voter, but this is very important for president obama. he started off the day in pueblo, colorado. started at a tex-mex restaurant where he had ench la das for breakfast. you can see from the visuals, a traditional mexican dance group entertaining the crowd, he talked a little bit about immigration, and ken salazar, the secretary of the interior and former senator here from colorado appearing at both of his events today. yes, he's trailing according to the latest poll, but he has a 40-point lead with hispanics. and between hispanics and women, he's hoping, wolf, to build a winning coalition that can deliver him colorado's nine electoral votes. >> brianna, yesterday you and i spoke about the controversial obama super pac ad that gives the impression that romney is responsible indirectly for a woman's death. today

joining us to talk about this is our cnn white house core respondent brianna kihler.did. >> the house budget chairman of the hitting him on this and he took aim at the president's performance and how it relates to a plant in his hometown of janesville, wisconsin. here is what he said. >> right there at that plant candidate obama said i believe that if our government is there to support you, this plant will be here for another 100 years. that's what he said in 2008. well, as it turned out, that plant didn't last another year. it is locked up and empty to this day. >> now, the obama campaign is jumping all over this, john, because it is not quite true. it is not true actually. this was a plan to close this plant that was announced under the bush administration, and they have looked at this and said it is not accurate. something worth fact checking from the speech. >> paul ryan a shrewd politician and a lot of fun with word play, not always necessarily accurate. he also did talk some about mitt romney and laid out the character differences between the two men. >> that's

and brianna keilar is recapping romney's big night. >> this president can ask us to be patient. this president can tell us it is someone else's fault, and this president can tell us that in the next four years he will get it right, but this president cannot tell us that you are better off today tn when he took office. >> the centerpiece of the mitt romney's acceptance speech, an attack on president obama's economic record. >> does the america we want borrow $1 trillion from china? >> no. >> does it fail to find jobs for 23 million people and for over half of the kids graduating from college? >> no. >> reporter: romney laid out a five-point plan to create jobs and become energy independent by 2020 and cut deficits, but he fell short on the details and the republican nominee did not shy away from the experience at bain capital. >> that business we started with 10 people has grown into a great american success story. some of the companies we helped start are names you know from and you have heard from tonight. a office company called staples where i'm pleased to see that the obama

brianna keilar is watching from the white house. i expect this is probably not the last stop that will be in iowa. three full days. >> three full days but, of course, iowa is very important to president obama. he won it in 2008. now it's up for grabs. and you should expect, ashleigh, to hear president obama talking again about paul ryan, who will continue with the theme that he's been talking about now for months. he will be portraying himself as fighting for the middle class and mitt romney and paul ryan fighting for the wealthy. we heard president obama talk about paul ryan yesterday at a fund-raiser in chicago. expect for him to perhaps be gracious on the personal level, welcoming paul ryan to the race, but attacking him on policy. here's part of what he said. >> he's an articulate spokesman for governor romney's vision, but it's a vision that i fundamentally disagree with. my opponent and congressman ryan and their allies in congress, they all believe that if we just get rid of more regulations on big corporations and we give mo

cnn's brianna keilar joining me now from the white house. ohio an important state. you think he'll talk about today? >> he will talk about, according to campaign sources, that push for what t campaign calls the middle class tax cut. extending bush era tax cuts for the first $250,000 of earnings, kyra. so, he'll certainly be talking about that. but as you know, ohio is hugely important. we're talking 18 electoral states in the last five presidential elections. ohioans have gone for the presidential candidate that went on to be president and the campaign is hoping that president obama's support for the auto bailout is really going to help push him over the top. one in eight jobs in ohio tied to the auto industry. certainly that action that he took was very popular. in addition to talking about the tax cuts, though. we'll hear something new according to the campaign and that is president obama talking about a new report that's out from the tax policy center. it's a middle of the road tax group and this report says that mitt romney's tax plan would help wealthier americ
