In a week when he tried to focus attention on the struggles of the middle class, President Obama said in an interview that he was worried that years of widening income inequality and the lingering effects of the financial crisis had frayed the country’s social fabric and undermined Americans’ belief in opportunity.

Upward mobility, Mr. Obama said in a 40-minute interview with The New York Times, “was part and parcel of who we were as Americans.

“And that’s what’s been eroding over the last 20, 30 years, well before the financial crisis,” he added.

In case you don’t know, we are apparently no longer in an “economic crisis.” We are in an “economic recovery.” (Yes, this was news to Your Wonkette as well.) But yes, we are in an “economic recovery,” but a very special kind of economic recovery where all the gains (and then some) go to the top 1%.

1. Couldn't tell from all the $Billions he has given Wall St. Wealthy Elite

[Spitfire of ATJ]

2. If you listen to his speeches he's talking to the 1% to tell them the 99% are wise to them...

They feel it's the job of the President to make sure the 1% are loved.

They believe they would have had that with rMoney.
