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.

What a crock.
No one could get tickets to his dog and pony show unless they proved they were Ominions.
Between he and Harry “Doofus” Reid, they almost cleared the downtown area of thinking people.
What am I saying?? The only Thinking Person Downtown is the Great Oscar!! (May he never die!)
“But while the economy is posting solid growth and creating jobs again”
Okaaaay...
Does he bear any resemlance to “Al, I-created-the-internet, Gore?
Gore or Obama...Obama or Hitler....Hitler or Gore....kinda like no choice at all, no change at all, no hope at all. Not even any brains. Not even HALF a brain between the three of them.
Well, flies land on sh*t to eat it, so your picture shouldn’t surprise any of us.
ladies and gentlemen, this is the best and brightest the left has to offer.
The mighty zero needs to expand his vocabulary. And to start off, he should learn the meaning of the phrase: “... in spite of....”
Something bothered me about this...no human I know, with or without hair, would feel that fly...UNLESS they use BOTOX. LOL
sorry - wouldn’t feel it - laughing too hard.
Barack Hussein Obama is CAUSING a vicious economic downturn.
By 2011 it will be The Great Depression re-visited....which is exactly what he wants.
I’d take bets on that!
If I was his wife, he’d never get near “my” girls and NEVER be left alone with them. Who knows what weird and strange ideas can fill his empty head!
Everything he does is self destructive at this point. America is becoming tone deaf to his constant lies.
“Start with the premise that many Americans are ignorant fools, like the near quarter who don’t know from whom we won our independence,.....and then just lie.”

Seems to be working VERY well for them: Reds secured at all the important levers of power.
Insane and evil. I really can’t stand to look at him and I refuse to hear him speak.
My daughter calls him creepy man.
