Throughout his presidency, the Democratic party have made every possible linguistic maneuver to avoid explicitly mentioning the class of people that make up over three-quarters of this country. The construction workers, the cab drivers, the transit workers, the food service workers, the truckers, the dock workers, have all been left out of the discourse by the party that is supposed to represent them. Meanwhile, the Republican party have launched a rhetorical assault by seeing Obama's "middle class" and raising them a "small business owners."
For the love of God, push back for once.
