And she states that strategists see as a line of attack against Mitt Romney of the powerful Republican favorite, an investment manager whose former plan participants to portray Obama as a sympathizer of the rich Wall Street.
Many Democrats like Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, the biggest threat to Obama, when wooing centrist independent next year, and this week, Romney has begun to present itself as champion of the American middle class.
Obama aides point to recent studies, which show their anger at the Wall Street extends the ideologies, including a new Washington Post-ABC News poll in which 68 percent of self-employed and 60 percent of Republicans say they have a 'unfavorable impression of large financial institutions.
But the strategy to channel anger against Wall Street has its risks. Many senior advisers Obama has ties to the financial industry - a point that, obviously, watch the president and his party.
In recent days, Obama has stepped up his rhetoric. He took the unusual step of targeting the individual firm when he attacked the Bank of America for its new $ 5 debit card each month, calling it "exactly the kind of thing that people are frustrated . " And his campaign and the White House has issued messages blasting the GOP candidates and lawmakers to deprive Wall Street regulations pushed by Obama and opposed the confirmation of a director of the consumer protection agency created as part of the overhaul.
"We intend to be a key element of the campaign next year," Has a senior adviser David Plouffe said in an interview. "A key element of contrast is the president went to reform Wall Street and our opponent and the other party wants to repeal it."
"I am sure that 12 months from now, people make the decision about who to vote is to check the bowel will be about" who could make decisions about my life than to help Wall Street? "" Plouffe said.
The attitude of the GOP
Romney, probably in anticipation of the new line of attack by the White House tried to show solidarity with the protesters in the debate of the GOP candidates this week.
"The reason I see the protests ... income is U.S. media are struggling to make ends meet," he said.
The Republican leaders say the law on Wall Street, the government is trying too much, and Romney's financial plan calls for replacing with "simplification of the regulatory framework."
Obama has tried this line of attack before, in 2009 railing against "fat cat bankers," whom he accused of taking excessive bonuses following the financial crisis. However, after complaints from Democrats on Wall Street and business leaders, the president spent most of last year courting companies - including hiring a new chief of staff, William Daley, the banking sector.
