Reuters: Obama legacy--a shrinking middle class

Hope and change has failed.

From Reuters:

Barack Obama enters the final two years of his presidency with a blemish on his legacy that looks impossible to erase: the decline of the middle class he has promised to rescue.

The revival of middle-class jobs has been one of Obama's mantras since he took office in 2009 fighting the worst economic crisis in generations. It was a major theme of his last State of the Union address and is expected to feature in the one scheduled for Tuesday.

As for the SOTU, viewers can expect a healthy dose of class warfare rhetoric.
