Yes, Obama worked on some of those things. He did not really rescue the middle class but he did help it, he pushed through "Obamacare" with some issues causing some problems as well, and he tried to use the government to help people but was blunted in every way by the Republican led House and Senate..

My post was more about the Democratic Party and it's way forward and not just the actions of one person. Just because Obama did those things does not mean that is an identity and "what it means to be a Democrat".
