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.

Rocker Jon Bon Jovi got a lift Monday to New York on Air Force One with President Obama.
 
The Bon Jovi frontman was spotted by reporters rounding a corner at JFK airport in New York City. After he was spotted, the White House acknowledged that he joined the president on the flight. A White House official said he was traveling as a "guest of the President."
 
Bon Jovi is headlining a campaign event at the Waldorf-Astoria, where he will perform for about 500 supporters. According to a White House official, the campaign paid for Bon Jovi's trip.

Team O turns tone-deaf
2nd prize: Two dinners with Anna

Remember how all the buzz about the 2008 campaign was how young and fresh and new and exciting and YouTube-y and Internet-y and Will.I.AM-y the Obama campaign was? Well, the Obama 2012 campaign is turning into . . . a raffle. Or a school auction. Or something.
 
The head-scratching political event of the weekend was the Obama campaign’s release of a video starring that peerless political thinker and ideological visionary, Vogue magazine editor Anna Wintour.
 
Wearing a hair helmet that makes her look like a Roman centurion with a ’20s bob, Wintour attempts what might pass for a smile on the planet Vulcan and intones Britishly: “I’m so lucky in my work that I get to meet some of the most incredible women in the world — women like Sarah Jessica Parker and Michelle Obama.”

Bizarre: A shot from the video starring horror-show Vogue editor Anna Wintour that the Obama campaign proudly released over the weekend.
 



This seems like grading on a curve in a world that includes Aung San Suu Kyi and my mother, but fine, we’ll let that go.
 
“These two wonderful women and I, along with the president, are hosting a dinner in New York City to benefit the Obama campaign," she continues. Given her relative lack of fame compared to those two women, Wintour seems to be punching above her co-hostess weight here, but we’ll let that go, too.
 
But why, pray tell, is Wintour informing the nation of a dinner to which the nation will not be invited, and at which, one might surmise from the eating habits of the rich and famous, the menu will include a salad of three lettuce leaves without dressing with a Tic Tac for dessert?
 
“It’ll be a fantastic evening, and you can join us,” she says. What? Actually dine with Anna Wintour — a woman who, it is said, will have you fired if you dare to speak to her in the Condé Nast elevator? Will she even bother to look at you? In the commercial, she can barely bring herself to look at the camera.
 
Of course she will! “We’re saving the two best seats in the house for you,” she says — by which she must mean the seats near the kitchen. Either those, or the ones at a table featuring whichever Condé Nast editor is getting canned next.
 
Then comes the kicker: “You have to enter to win. Enter right now at BarackObama dot com, slash New York Night.”
 
And there we have it. The Obama campaign has become a raffle. The winning prize is dinner with Wintour and those other people (movie star, president, his wife). And as in all raffles, you present something valuable of yours as the means of entry.
 
In this case, that means personal information about yourself for the Obama campaign to capture and then pester you within an inch of your life between now and November.
 
Here’s why this is interesting. Sweepstakes contests of this sort are a specific and old-fashioned form of direct marketing. They use a shiny prize to lure in rubes who can’t possibly win for the purpose of capturing their names on a mailing list that can then be turned around and sold to others.
 
If you were to rank marketing methods, the sweepstakes would come in on the lower end of the lower scale.
 
The oddity of the Anna Wintour pitch is that her name and likeness and voice will only be of interest to higher-end voters for whom the word Vogue means more than a Madonna song title and who might even have some notion that she is the model of the horror-show virago editor in “The Devil Wears Prada.”
 
But this is a broad pitch, and moreover was echoed by a far more mass-market pitch (Sunday night on the MTV Movie Awards) by Sarah Jessica Parker herself.
 
Now, I like Sarah Jessica Parker, but wouldn’t such an ad starring this signature performer of a hit TV show from 10 years ago work better on a program that appeals to more, ahem, seasoned audiences — you know, the kind that watch “Law & Order” reruns on TNT?
 
The pitch is off-pitch. The hilariously wrongheaded tone and ridiculous use of Anna Wintour suggest a surprising tone-deafness at Obama HQ in Chicago.
 
Even more telling, there’s nothing innovative, up-to-the-minute or intimidatingly new media about any of this. It’s all very retro. Kind of like 1980.
 
You know, the year Jimmy Carter lost.

This is pathological, no kidding. Will this be the sum total of your life?
