President Obama campaigned in battleground states over the weekend ahead of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. Speaking in Boulder, Colorado, Obama criticized Republicans for the message that came out of their convention in Tampa.

President Obama: “There was a lot of talk about 'hard truths' and 'bold choices,' but nobody ever actually bothered to tell you what they were. And when Governor Romney had his chance to let you in on his secret, he did not offer a single new idea, just retreads of the same old policies that have been sticking it to the middle class for years. They talked a lot about me, they talked a lot about him, but they didn’t say much about you.”
