Former U.S. President Barack Obama taunted the administration for mobilizing what he described as a "whole-of-government response" to a lighthearted campaign joke rather than addressing pressing national issues.
Speaking at a midterm rally in Georgia, Obama mocked officials for taking deep offense at his earlier comments ridiculing White House interior renovations.
He accused the administration of routinely ignoring serious allegations of political corruption while springing into action to defend against a quip.
The exchange highlights escalating political friction as both political figures trade sharp barbs on the midterms campaign trail.
