Obama to Democrats: ‘Sulking and moping is not an option’

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Democratic Party’s most prominent figures warned that abortion, Social Security and democracy itself are at risk as they labored to overcome fierce political headwinds — and an ill-timed misstep from President Joe Biden — over the final weekend of the 2022 midterm elections.

“Sulking and moping is not an option,” former President Barack Obama told several hundred voters on a blustery day in Pittsburgh.

“On Tuesday, let’s make sure our country doesn’t get set back 50 years,” Obama said. “The only way to save democracy is if we, together, fight for it.”

Obama acknowledged that voters are anxious after suffering through “some tough times” in recent years, citing the pandemic, rising crime and surging inflation.

“The Republicans like to talk about it, but what’s their answer, what’s their economic policy?” Obama asked. “They want to gut Social Security. They want to gut Medicare. They want to give rich folks and big corporations more tax cuts.”

Obama and Fetterman hugged on stage after the speeches were over.

You can only save democracy but not having a choice. Isn’t it amazing how that works? Also they’re never accountable or at fault no matter how large their majorities (aka California). How’s that work?

Obama goes with the standard playbook...they want to cut Social Security, Medicare, yadda yadda and adds the news one about taking down Democracy. Meanwhile you have the controllers of Biden attacking nearly every institution in this country and destroying energy independence.

The man is a 100% “ZERO.”

What do you mean? He’s just trying to salvage his 3rd term.

The AP is as biased and one sided as the Washington Post.

Obummer goes back to his method of lecturing Americans.
He does this when he really has nothing else to do.

The soy boy looks pretty angry as the turnouts he’s getting don’t hold a candle to what Ronald Macdonald gets at a local appearance.

I’m curious as to what AP thinks is Biden’s ill-timed misstep, but I’m not going to log on to the story to find out.
