Obama Slams Trump as "Threat to Democracy"
------------------------------------------

Former President Barack Obama has slammed President Trump, calling him a
"threat to democracy" who capitalizes on "politics of fear and
resentment." President Obama's speech at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign was the kickoff to a 2-month campaign effort ahead of
November's midterm elections. This is former President Obama speaking
Friday.

Barack Obama: "So, Democrats aren't just running on good old ideas like
a higher minimum wage. They're running on good new ideas, like Medicare
for all, giving workers seats on corporate boards, reversing the most
egregious corporate tax cuts to make sure college students graduate
debt-free."
