President
Barack Obama lays out his plan to extend tax cuts for the middle class,
during an announcement from the East Room of the White House in
Washington, Monday, July 9, 2012. (AP)
James Carville was the “Ragin’ Cajun” political strategist who pushed
through Bill Clinton’s “it’s the economy stupid” White House victory in
1992. Stan Greenberg is the Democratic pollster who digs in deep on
what Americans really want and feel.
And right now Carville and Greenberg are both waving their arms and
shouting about the American middle class. It’s dying, they say, and
we’re not America without it. Romney talks” big economy,” they say.
Obama too, until recently. But the winning way they say, is a laser
focus on the middle.
This hour,
On Point: James Carville, Stan Greenberg, and the blazing crisis of the American middle class.
