LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AFP) – US President Barack Obama said Friday his policies had pulled America out of the most vicious economic dive since the 1930s, setting battle lines for mid-term elections in November.
Obama put the Republicans on notice he will vigorously defend his record, despite the fact many Americans do not yet feel the recovery he is touting, while economic data hints that the rebound may be slowing.
"Our first mission was to break the momentum of the deepest and most vicious recession since the Great Depression," Obama said in the gambling hub of Las Vegas, wrapping up a two-day campaign-style trip.
"We had to stop the freefall and get the economy and jobs growing again."
Obama used his appearance at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, to call on Congress to invest five billion dollars more in tax credits for green energy manufacturing firms, part of his plan for an alternative energy revolution.
After a brutal year featuring prolonged high unemployment and bitter political battles, Democrats had hoped to be reaping the benefits by now of Obama's rescue policies.
But while the economy is posting solid growth and creating jobs again, the party has seen negligible political gains, with the jobless rate still at 9.5 percent, and confidence in the rebound ebbing.
If the economy dictates the course of elections, as usual, Obama and the Democrats could be in for trouble come November when all of the House of Representatives is up for grabs, along with a third of the Senate.

An Inverse Halo!!
Everything O does is Backwards - even his Halo!
It sure is a battle with this Obamamaniac,so to speak? He says what the Sheeple and MSM want to hear and they certainly believe his BS. We’re in a War here and we must challenge everything this bozo says and does, for the sake of our Republic.
I’m very proud of the Freepers that keep on keeping here!
He said this yesterday. How weird is this?
“You know, the — I don’t have teenagers yet — Malia’s just turned 12,” said Obama, according to a pool report. “She’s my baby. She’s going — even though she’s 5’9” now, she’s still my baby. And she just got braces, which is good, because she looks like a kid and she was getting — she’s starting to look too old for me.”
Good Lord, Almighty. *That* stammering statement can be taken in more than one way. He’s an idiot.
I can’t decide what he meant to say!
What f-ing rebound?
This douche is smoking more than than the typical Mary Jane.
I remember Clinton. He was a pretty good liar. Sometimes he even seemed to enjoy lying. But when someone -- reporters, political opponents, whoever -- forced him (as he saw it) into lying, he would get really, really angry about it. (Remember how that bony finger would come out.) Clinton wanted to lie on his own terms.
Obama seems similar. Like Clinton, he fully expects everyone to accept his lies, not only without reservation, but with gratitude. He doesn't like being disbelieved. And, like Clinton, the bigger the lie the angrier (and the more self-righteously angry) it makes him.
This is, of course, opposite the behavior of psychological normal persons, who are embarrassed and discomforted, i.e. shamed, as opposed to morally outraged, when they are "cornered" into telling a lie, or when they fail in selling an unpressed lie.
Obama is CRAP! When will we try the scumbag for TREASON?
he’s just so weird. Obviously he has mental issues. Creepy man.
everyone hates obama..... even blacks secretly hate his guts
he is fooling no one
The phony imposter hates America just like his mentor the Wrong Rev. Wright. The enemy imposter’s moves have nothing to do with helping this country; only goal here is consolidation of power.
Ha! Me too. I immediately turn the channel or leave the room when the Impostor appears. Haven't heard a peep out of him since before the election.
He beat it with a wet noodle and no one noticed!
LOL. Your record is better than mine, but I keep the remote right by my side now!
To pile on:
The entire economic downturn happened while the Democrats controlled Congress. It happened on their watch. All the job losses have happened after Pelosi became speaker, and millions have lost their jobs since Obama became President in in nov 2008. The normal cyclical recession has been made longer and deeper, and the recovery more tepid, because of failed and flawed economic policies by Obama and the Democrats. Their socialist policies and their refusal to rein in the welfare state is adding to our national debt and dis-incentivizing work and production.
