President Barack Obama accused Republicans on Friday of peddling discredited "snake oil ideas" about the U.S. economy as he tried to win votes for struggling Democrats in a battle for control of the Senate.
Obama campaigned in Los Angeles for veteran California Senator Barbara Boxer, who faces a tough challenge from Carly Fiorina, the former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard. The president then headed to Nevada to stump for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who is in a fight for his political life.
"This is a choice between the policies that got us into this mess and the policies that will get us out," Obama told a crowd of about 37,000 people at the University of Southern California just 11 days before congressional elections that are widely seen as a midterm referendum on his record.

Funny, I said essentially the same thing to a friend of mine this afternoon.
Obama may not believe in American exceptionalism, but I do. Cut taxes, cut regulations, get the government off our backs and out of our pockets and our economy will boom again faster than the experts believe.
Call it "Bringing Back the American Dream." Always wanted your own business, a little shop, a cafe, whatever? Well, here's your chance; we are cutting taxes, lifting burdensome regulations, and giving you your opportunity. If you don't like blue-eyed people who wear purple on the third Thursday of months ending in the letter "r," then don't hire them, the government no longer cares. Whatever wage you and your employee works out is your business, also. Work hard and prosper, because in the long run that's good for everybody!
Hate and idealism can both be used to gain political power. He came to power with optimism but hate is what burns in his hart me thinks.
I do not think the left understands how it is destroying the last shreds of decency and respect in public discourse. And to the extent it understands it doesn’t care. The entire public sphere will soon belong to intolerance, vitriol, and extremism.
Politics have now been striped of all issues except the naked lust for money and power. Almost all the issues that touch to the quick the very lifeblood of the nation are verboten. People are loosing hope in democracy and look upon all our elected officials with an absolute cynicism and contempt they richly deserve.
There will be change soon, real change. And not the kind of change that Obama and his cohorts want.
Is Obozo even capable of an original thought? Everything he says is lifted from someone else.
Yep. Work hard...be happy...watch the leftists’ heads explode. It’s all good. ;)
Odude - you so Failed!
Please return our 3 trillion dollars you pissed away and rip up all your miserable bills before you leave your letters of resignation and apology on the desk on your way out.
Good riddance!
And kudos on letting Clinton and Carter stop arguing which of them was the worst president - you win!
President Narcissus: Pot meet Kettle.
Or in other words, look in the mirror.
Obutthole has been THE most DIVISIVE & COWARDLY president we’ve ever had.
Yeah, and zer0 knows snake oil when he sees it coming out of his own mouth.
Hey! We’re on to you, boz0.
