On the Trail: July 17

Obama calls on Romney to be more transparent.

Rhetoric Heats Up the Campaign Trail - The Obama campaign is doubling down on its attacks on Republican Mitt Romney in ads and speeches that take aim at the former governor's time in office in Massachusetts and as head of Bain Capital. Hoping to change the subject, Romney and a chorus line of surrogates are returning fire with charges that Obama is dividing America and attacking success. But there is one thing that some conservatives and the president can agree on, and that is a call for Romney to give up the tax returns everyone's dying to see. —Joyce Jones  (Photos from left: Alex Wong/Getty Images, Win McNamee/Getty Images)
Super PAC'd - The Restore Our Future super PAC that supports Republican Mitt Romney's presidential campaign has duplicated the candidate's fundraising prowess. It announced on July 16 that it raised $20 million in June, dwarfing the $6.1 million raised by the pro-Obama group USA Action. (Photo: Courtesy restoreourfuture.com)
BeyoncéBarack and Michelle Obama Interview - In ’08, Oprah Winfrey, hands-down, was the biggest celebrity supporter of Barack Obama’s run for president, publicly stumping for the candidate and having him on her show. But, learning that her public support was hurting her show’s rating (and could potentially damage public support for her new OWN TV network) Winfrey, in lieu of campaigning, interviewed the President and First Lady, Michelle Obama, instead.
