President Barack Obama is getting a little help from former President Bill
Clinton at a trio of campaign fundraisers in New York.
The presidential duo will speak at a high-dollar fundraiser at a private
home, then headline a gala at the Waldorf Astoria hotel. Obama and Clinton
will end the night at an event dubbed "Barack on Broadway" at the New
Amsterdam Theatre.
Monday's trip is Obama's first of two fundraising blitzes in New York over
the next two weeks. He will return to Manhattan next week for a fundraiser
at the home of actress Sarah Jessica Parker.
Obama is seeking to persuade voters that he is still the right steward for
the economy following a dismal jobs report out last week that showed an
uptick in the unemployment rate.
