(AP) Declaring America's middle class is "under assault," President Barack Obama unveiled plans Monday to help hurting families pay their bills, save for retirement and care for their kids and aging parents. His comments previewed Wednesday's State of the Union address to Congress.
The White House has promised a sharper focus on jobs and the economy as the dust settles from the punishing loss of the late Edward M. Kennedy's Senate seat in Massachusetts. Republicans won the seat for the first time in decades and took away Democrats' 60-vote majority in the Senate, which Obama's party had needed to bypass Republicans' tactics to stall legislation.
Democrats are trying to regroup to head off more populist anger and stem more losses of congressional seats in November elections. Obama's poll numbers are also off - primarily because of the slow economic recovery and double-digit unemployment. A majority of Americans also have turned against health care reform, the president's signature legislative effort now in jeopardy. - CBS News Story
The sad part is that the Middle Class has been under assault. We continue to be under assault. The real sad part is that Obama and the Democrats could have cared less until they have realized that is the Middle Class that can save the failing Presidency of Obama and the poor leadership of Pelosi and Reid.
