Thankfully, Obama is ignoring Carville along with other top Democratic strategists who are warning him he’s committing reelection suicide.

Via Politico:

James Carville said Wednesday he is “worried” that President Barack Obama’s message about an improving economy could be turning off voters.

“I’m worried that when the White House or the campaign talks about the progress that’s being made, people take that as a signal that they think that things are fine and people don’t feel they ought to believe that,” the Democratic strategist said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

On how the president should fine tune his rhetoric if he wins a second term, Carville noted that the American people “want to be reassured of him that he understands the depth of the problem and that he has a plan to deal with the deterioration of the middle class.”

The veteran strategist’s latest remarks touch on similar concerns raised in a research document co-written with pollsters Stan Greenberg and Erica Seifert for Democracy Corps.

The three strategists warned on Tuesday in the memo that the Democratic Party could face an “impossible headwind in November” unless it adopts a more forward-looking economic message that focuses on the middle class, and called on the president to start spreading his message with “minimal discussion of the recovery and jobs created and maximal empathy for the challenges people face.”
