Aides to President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign said today that his speech to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte will be “aspirational” and “pragmatic” — and it will contain detail.
Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter and other campaign aides spoke at a Bloomberg Breakfast in Charlotte about the speech that Obama will deliver in acceptance of his party’s nomination for re-election on Thursday night.
The president plans to “lay out a tangible path forward” in the recovery from the worst recession since the 1930s, Cutter told reporters and editors assembled at the Bloomberg center across the street from the arena where the convention opens today.
Obama plans to offer “a pretty clear sense of what the second term will be about,” she said.
