This Fox interview is a few days old, but I just saw it. Surprisingly, it hasn't received much play -- or if it has -- I've missed it:

HEMMER: I know we’re pushed for time. Can you give me a definition of the middle class based on income, within a range?
OBAMA: You know, what I would say is, if you are making more than $250,000, than you’re more than middle class. You’re doing better. If you are making less than $250,000, then you are definitely somewhere in the middle class.
