"It is inexcusable for any Democrat or progressive right now to stand on the sidelines in this midterm election," Obama said.
Excerpts from the interview came out as Obama embarked on a four-state campaign swing to campuses and backyards aimed at relighting the progressive fires under young voters who helped propel him to the Oval Office.
