"When I hear working families thinking about voting for those plans, I want to have an intervention" [View all]

Obama made it clear he was speaking about Trump, telling the crowd, “If we fall for a bunch of okeydoke just because it sounds funny or the tweets are provocative then we’re not going to build on the progress that we started.”

PRESIDENT OBAMA:

“When I hear working families thinking about voting for those plans, then I want to have an intervention, Obama told the Indiana crowd. “The notion that you would vote for anybody who would now allow them to go back to doing the same stuff that almost broke our economy’s back makes no sense.”

“I don’t care whether you are a Republican, or a Democrat or an independent, why would you do that?”

Obama told the crowd that if the election comes down to which party is better for the economy, the choice shouldn’t be so difficult.

“If what you really care about in this election is your pocketbook; if what you’re concerned about is who will look out for the interests of working people and grow the middle class, then the debate isn’t even close,” the president said.
