White House Slams Obama as 'Classless Moron' Over 'People's Lawyer' Remarks

Former President Barack Obama defined the role of the Attorney General not as 'the president's aide,' but as 'a lawyer for all the people.' Speaking on a talk show, Obama emphasized that the Attorney General should not investigate or probe specific individuals according to the president's wishes, but must impartially defend all citizens solely according to the law.

White House Spokesperson Davis England criticized former President Obama, calling him a 'classless moron.' Spokesperson England stated that Obama's remarks were due to 'the division sown in this country,' and that history would not judge him kindly.

This latest statement from former President Obama comes as past remarks from Eric Holder, then Attorney General in 2013, describing himself as President Obama's 'wingman,' are being revisited.
