Obama's change is to get everyone poor and unemployed so he can have their vote.. the working class is the backbone of America and Obama has no use for the working class. Obama wants everyone poor so he can rule with his socialist agenda.. how is that for hope and change.
As a Democrat and a white working guy myself, I'll have to disagree. Why would any democrat, who is for social justice be against the working man / woman? The democratic party has been aligned with labor and unions for decades. We fight for the working man. The OP is apparently living in parallel universe where the polarity is reversed.
No, the democratic party gave the shaft to the unions years ago when they passed nafta. Plus Obama does NOTHING with all the illegal aliens coming here taking high paying jobs from Americans.. Obama is not for the working class americans.
The illegals anchor babies will grow up and surely vote democrat and the democratic party know it. Debt will rise and no one will have money here.. the rich will depart and become global to make money because the taxes will be astronomical for the the debt of the bribe for votes give aways.
From a political stand point, it doesn't make sense to dedicate too much time with the white working class. In spite of the GOP favoring the rich, white working class people still favor the Republicans. There is nothing the democrats can really do to change this. This is what Obama's team meant. Not that the white working class didn't matter.
They are going to lose with that strategy, there simply is not enough Hispanics voters to make up for the loss of WWC voters and independents.

'They Don't Need Our Votes' Why would Democrats advertise that they're giving up on the "white working class"?
Our item yesterday on Democrats' giving up on the "white working class" vote, along with Bill McGurn's column on the same subject, got us to puzzling over why. Not why would they do it—the theory that President Obama has irretrievably lost support within this voting bloc, and is better off focusing his attention on minorities and college-educated whites, is entirely plausible. But why would they advertise it?
Imagine an analogous situation: a Republican incumbent who did decently among Hispanics but whose strategists conclude has lost significant support in that segment of the electorate. If they start putting out the word that the GOP is giving up on the Hispanic vote, it would ensure that the party loses more Hispanic votes, and perhaps also the votes of non-Hispanics who don't like the idea that the GOP is anti-Hispanic. It could also do long-term damage to the party's ability to win over Hispanics in future elections.
Would there be any compensating gains? Maybe, if one assumes there is a significant segment of the electorate that is antipathetic toward Hispanics. Similarly, it could be that the Democrats' disrespecting of the WWC is a tactic aimed at playing to the prejudices of other Democratic-leaning voters, especially college-educated whites [such as the spoiled and utterly clueless Occupy Wall Street protestors who play into Obama's class/race wars and want everything given to them for free]. Recall that then-Sen. Obama delivered his notorious disquisition on "bitter clingers" to a well-heeled cackle of rads in San Francisco.
Do we need any further proof that the Democrats are the true party full of bigots and racists? C-D liberals prove it every day.

That is true. However the democrats should adjust and say they will give up on the working class white men--- white working class women might be easier to get to vote democrat.
Unless ur in that very small percent of ruling wealthy class I don't think the assessment of the OP is accurate. There are plenty of working class democrats. And their looking for a hero too just like the rest of the people who are not wealthy. The problem is too many people care more about their political principles than doing what is right. Party over humanity and Profit over justice and equity. It's really sad in my opinion.
For decades, Democrats have suffered continuous and increasingly severe losses among white voters. But preparations by Democratic operatives for the 2012 election make it clear for the first time that the party will explicitly abandon the white working class.
All pretense of trying to win a majority of the white working class has been effectively jettisoned in favor of cementing a center-left coalition made up, on the one hand, of voters who have gotten ahead on the basis of educational attainment — professors, artists, designers, editors, human resources managers, lawyers, librarians, social workers, teachers and therapists — and a second, substantial constituency of lower-income voters who are disproportionately African-American and Hispanic.
A Vote For Obama Is A Vote For Democrats: The Anti-White Party. Hurrah for progressivism.
President Barack Obama's team is looking to hire more African-Americans, a search that has stirred a debate among black Democrats about Obama's record on diversity and its implications for his reelection.
