Former President Barack Obama on Saturday seized on what he described as cruelty and indecency coming from President Donald Trump and his Republican allies, stepping into one of the nation’s ugliest midterm fights as he worked to rally Democratic voters in two Midwestern battlegrounds.

First in Ohio, Obama took aim at Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who has doubled down on an advertising campaign featuring the estranged mother of Democratic rival Dr. Amy Acton. Trump and Vice President JD Vance have also defended the ad, even as Republican leaders across Ohio, including Gov. Mike DeWine, have called for its removal.

    The same Obama who kindly and decently bombed thousands of civilians and oversaw the expansion of a security apparatus conducting warrantless searches on every American?

    WHAT A GOOD MAN!

        And a poke in the eye beats a kick in the balls. I’m not going to pretend that getting poked in the eye is awesome.

          Yeah Trump is totally honest, he always speaks the truth… Apparently you all know that he is a pedophile rapist, fraud, traitor and what not and you still vote for him. This really doesn’t make you look good

      Yeh, that guy…and all the others as well. I think we all know that the US has been doing this for a long long time. Thats one of the reasons why we’re seeing a movement away from centrism.
