Titled &#8220;Shift the Economic Narrative,&#8221; the memo encapsulates focus group work done by Democracy Corps to assess what voters are thinking. The memo says &#8220;[Voters] know we are in a new normal where life is a struggle &#8212; and convincing them that things are good enough for those who have found jobs is a fool&#8217;s errand. They want to know the plans for making things better in a serious way &#8212; not just focused on finishing up the work of the recovery.&#8221;]]>Tue, 12 Jun 2012 07:35:25 -0400<![CDATA[Bryan Preston]]>https://pjmedia.com/bryan-preston-1/2012/06/12/carville-memo-life-is-such-a-struggle-that-obama-shouldnt-even-talk-about-it-n166548
