Mike Pence Is Upset Because Known Politician Barack Obama Has “Become So Political”

Over the past few days, former President Barack Obama has come back into the political field to rally the troops. It started a few months ago when he endorsed 81 office-seekers on various levels, and has grown into appearances across the States including the University of Illinois, Anaheim, Calif., and soon, Ohio, according to The Hill.

Pence and Trump want to continue to pretend that their opposition is irrelevant, but it doesn’t look like Obama is going to let that happen.
