The former president also talked about his tenure as commander-in-chief and certain matters which displeased him:
“There were a whole bunch of stories I didn’t like; I didn’t threaten folks, I might just complain. I might say to Michelle, ‘Hey, that’s not fair.'”
More on Obama and Midterms
Obama has stumped for many Democrats who are running in this year’s midterms. He has also increased his criticism of President Trump; earlier this month, the former commander-in-chief accused Trump of “capitalizing” off social and political unrest. Although the president did not directly respond, the vice president did. Pence admonished Obama for “breaking with tradition” of past presidents.
As midterm elections draw nearer, both Republicans and Democrats are stumping for candidates in their parties. Like Obama, President Trump is also hitting the campaign trails to garner votes from his base. Many Democrats have openly stated that midterms serve as an opportunity for them to resist Trump. However, Republicans are hoping to increase their congressional power and continue moving forward with the president’s agenda.
