UPDATE: New York Times:
“Despite all the challenges that we face in this new century, what they offered over those three days was an agenda that was better suited to the last century,” Mr. Obama told an estimated 13,000 people who filled a campus green on Sunday at the University of Colorado, Boulder, against a scenic backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.
“It was a rerun – it could have been on ‘Nick at Night,’ ” Mr. Obama said. Viewers might as well have watched on a black-and-white TV with rabbit-ear antennas, he joked.
And for all the Republicans’ talk of the hard choices they would make to address the country’s problems, Mr. Obama said, “When Governor Romney finally had a chance to reveal the secret sauce, he did not offer a single new idea. It was just retreads of the same old policies we’ve been hearing for decades, the same policies that have been sticking it to the middle class for years.”

We’ll update with coverage throughout the day, FOX 31’s Eli Stokols kicks it off:
This weekend, Obama’s four-day road trip to the DNC began with a rally outside Des Moines that drew about 10,000 people; and, for the moment, the campaign is parked again in the Centennial State, with the campaign overnighting in Broomfield before a rally Sunday morning on the University of Colorado’s Boulder campus.
It’s already the president’s eighth trip to Colorado this year, and it comes less than four weeks after a two-day swing that saw President Obama rally crowds in Denver, Grand Junction, Pueblo and Colorado Springs…
In Boulder Sunday morning, Obama is going to offer his take on the RNC, where, as the president said Saturday in Iowa, Republicans put forth “an agenda that was better suited for the last century.
“It was a re-run. We’ve seen it before,” Obama said. “You might as well have watched it on a black-and-white TV.”
President Barack Obama’s rally is scheduled to begin “between 11AM and 1PM.”
