NORFOLK, Virginia — Former President Barack Obama lambasted his successor, President Donald Trump, on Saturday as part of his appeal to boost voter support for Abigail Spanberger, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Virginia.
“We’ve got a president who thinks it’s OK to use the Justice Department to go after his political opponents,” Obama said at the Ted Constant Convocation Center as the audience jeered.
“Don’t boo, vote,” Obama quipped, referencing his usual get-out-the-vote phrase on the same day that early voting ends in Virginia.
“We’ve got a commander-in-chief who fires decorated officers because he thinks they might be more loyal to the Constitution than to him,” Obama continued. “It’s like every day is Halloween, except it’s all tricks and no treats. And here’s the thing, it is not as if we didn’t see some of this coming. I will admit it is worse than even I expected, but I did warn you all. I did. You can run the tape.”
Much of the former president’s speech sought to excoriate Trump’s tenure, with Obama claiming Trump is eroding American democracy. Obama slammed many of Trump’s actions, including deploying the National Guard to U.S. cities led by Democratic leaders.
“I am worried about how quickly basic democratic rules and norms have been weakened,” Obama told the crowd.
Democrats are hoping that backlash to Trump’s economic policies, the government shutdown, and the slashing of the federal workforce will boost their candidates in Virginia and in New Jersey, giving them some momentum to run on ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
“I am here to ask you to vote for the next governor of Virginia, Abigail Spanberger,” Obama told the audience. “Lord knows, we need that light, we need that inspiration because let’s face it, our...

Same ole huckster. His act is stale.
Did Dorkbama use his squirt gun or the cap pistol?
The only human that the walking, talking fake could out debate would be Biden.
We’ve got a president who thinks it’s OK to use the Justice Department to go after his political opponents
________
Which one:
We got few, Obama? Biden?
Not saying the Dems will lose those elections, but they’re clearly concerned when they trot Obammy out.
Lock Bronc0 up.....
He's referencing himself... or his puppet Joe Biden.
As always with the o-ster, it's about me, me, me!
I lose track. Is this the one where Ubama is encouraging people to vote against the black woman?
Project we much!
So, he is getting the vote out for the Gwyneth Paltrow white stooge to defeat the sweet black grandmother.
Great point. Also just think, he's the best they've got. He's the top of the pyramid for them.
Hopefully Lord of the Flys will continue to be the death of every dem campaign he ‘helps’ with.
Of course Obama lambasted Trump.
The illegal shadow president and his obsequious pawns don’t believe Trump is president……they take their orders from Obama and will do anything to usurp Trump’s presidency.
Obama belongs in jail.
Very little prompting is required to get Barry to talk about himself.
I think Obama’s concerned and trotted himself out without anyone asking.
Democrats are horrified at Trump going after his political opponents? The Biden DOJ was trying to jail Trump. The people indicted by the Trump DOJ appear to have committed ACTUAL CRIMES.
“Which one:
We got few, Obama? Biden?”
You left out: Clinton, Johnson, FDR
If he Dems lose VA and NJ Obama will be back in the basement in his sweats.We can only hope.
