Noting that the coming elections are not for the White House, Obama highlighted a tendency among some constituents to sit on the sidelines. In the wide-ranging speech, Obama continued to hammer home the necessity for people to not “take our basic rights for granted,” while taking aim at elected Republicans. “The Republicans in Congress right now … they’re no check on the White House. I might say to Michelle, ‘Hey, that’s not fair.’”Obama's trip is the latest in a string of appearances before the midterms. The former president has endorsed more than 80 Democrats in more than a dozen states.
