00:00Former U.S. President Barack Obama has mocked the Trump administration saying it ignored his accusations of corruption but took
00:08offense at a joke about the White House.
00:10Obama says the administration was so offended by the joke that they mobilized a whole of government response to the
00:16joke.
00:19While campaigning for Democrats in Ohio, Obama had compared Trump's White House makeover to Saddam Hussein opening a cheesecake factory
00:26with gold everywhere.
00:28At a rally in Georgia, Obama said that comparison appeared to have drawn more attention from the administration than his
00:35criticism of its economic policies.
00:58That part didn't bother him.
01:01But he was very upset about the cheesecake factory comments.
01:08They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke.
01:15Not to inflation, but to that joke.
01:20The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury.
01:27Obama was campaigning for Democratic Senator John Ossoff and the party's candidate for governor, Kisha Lance Bottoms, ahead of next
01:34Tuesday's midterm elections.
01:36The rally came as Georgia's three-week early voting period neared its end.
