Obama warned against violating 'the basic spirit of our democracy' while campaigning for U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman in Pennsylvania. 'This habit we have of demonizing political opponents, of saying crazy stuff, it creates a dangerous climate.'
"It's easy to joke about Dr. Oz and all these quack remedies he's pushed on TV, but it matters. It says something about his character," Obama said. "If somebody's willing to peddle snake oil to make a buck, then he's probably willing to sell snake oil to get elected."
Obama also took aim at Republicans, saying that the GOP likes to talk about inflation but "what's their answer? What's their economic policy?" Obama then said Republicans want to gut Social Security and Medicare and give more tax cuts to the wealthy and to big corporations. "It should come as no surprise that Republicans want to cut taxes for the wealthy and big corporations because that's their solution to everything. When inflation's low, they say let's cut taxes for the wealthy. If unemployment's high, let's cut taxes."
"If there was an asteroid headed towards Earth, they'd all get in a room and say, you know what we need? Tax cuts for the rich.""Somebody mentioned earlier, we're setting our clocks back tomorrow by an hour," Obama said. "On Tuesday, let's make sure our country doesn't get set back fifty years."
