Let the people be ware. The other party is one uppity group and in no mood to play nice! My Krugman has an outstanding column outlining the plan of attack by the other party.

The Resentment Strategy
By PAUL KRUGMAN

"... the Republican Party, now more than ever, is firmly in the hands of the angry right, which has always been much bigger, much more influential and much angrier than its counterpart on the other side. ..."

"... That said, the experience of the years since 2000 — the memory of what happened to working Americans when faux-populist Republicans controlled the government — is still fairly fresh in voters’ minds. Furthermore, while Democrats’ supposed contempt for ordinary people is mainly a figment of Republican imagination, the G.O.P. really is the Gramm Old Party — it really does believe that the economy is just fine, and the fact that most Americans disagree just shows that we’re a nation of whiners.

But the Democrats can’t afford to be complacent. Resentment, no matter how contrived, is a powerful force, and it’s one that Republicans are very, very good at exploiting. "

Mr Obama and the Democratic Party, I expect, are aware of what is going on. It is not too much to expect that Mr Obama's team is working on countering the efforts of the GOP.

I believe it is important that the people working to change the direction USA is going understand the importance of keeping the campaign focused on the parties and not on personalities! It is the GOP party that has brought USA to the mess it is in.
