President Obama is rejecting the charge that his economic plan amounts to a redistribution of wealth.
In a “60 Minutes” interview set to air this evening, Obama said his real goal is to rebuild a strong middle-class America.
“What’s happened to the bargain?” Obama said in an interview with CBS correspondent Steve Kroft. “What happened to the American deal that says, you know, we are focused on building a strong middle class?
“The question is going to be, in this election, whether or not we are able to reclaim that vital center of American thought and American values that says, we’re all in this together and, you know, it matters if we are building a broad-based middle class, where everybody is able to do their part and everybody’s able to succeed.”
