Former President Barack Obama touted Democratic candidates for governor in two states at campaign rallies on Saturday, urging voters in next week’s election to reject what he called the \u201clawlessness and recklessness\u201d of President Donald Trump’s administration.
Obama, the two-term president still highly popular among Democrats, laid out a biting indictment of the Trump administration at rallies for Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger and New Jersey candidate Mikie Sherrill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet\u2019s face it, our country and our policy are in a pretty dark place right now,\u201d Obama told a roaring crowd of Spanberger supporters at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.
“It\u2019s hard to know where to start.” he said, “because every day this White House offers people a fresh batch of lawlessness and recklessness and mean-spiritedness and just plain craziness.\u201d
Obama blasted what he called Trump\u2019s \u201cshambolic\u201d tariff policy and deployment of National Guard troops to U.S. cities. He criticized Republicans in Congress for failing to check Trump \u201ceven when they know he\u2019s out of line.\u201d
He said he was surprised at how quickly business leaders, law firms and universities opted to \u201cbend the knee\u201d to appease Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later Saturday at an event in Newark, New Jersey to support Sherrill, Obama struck many of the same themes as he continued his criticisms of the Trump White House. “It\u2019s like every day is Halloween, except it\u2019s all tricks and no treats,\u201d Obama.
The former president occasionally dipped into sarcasm in mentioning Trump decisions such as remodeling parts of the White House even as a federal shutdown continues.
“In fairness he has been focused on some critical issues, like paving over the Rose Garden so folks don\u2019t get mud on their shoes, and building a $300 million ballroom,” Obama said.
Polls show Spanberger, 46, with a sizable lead over the Republican candidate, Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, 61. Spanberger, a former CIA officer, was a congresswoman for six years.
Most polls show Sherrill with a single-digit lead over Republican Jack Ciatterelli, 63, a former state assemblyman making his third consecutive run for the governor\u2019s seat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
