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.

Obama beats only one thing.
That is one of those “circle flies” that circle horses’ @$$e$. Can’t fool them!
Start with the premise that many Americans are ignorant fools
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Eighty percent of demorats ARE ignorant fools - just watch Jay Leno in his Jaywalking segment. These are the nutjobs that voted for his nothingness.
From that angle you can clearly see the stress he is under to maintain his lies.
Shouldn’t that read: Obama says he CAUSED vicious economic downturn?
Nevada has the highest "official" unemployment rate in the nation - 14%. I wonder how many people actually believe the lewd, crude, lying, kenyan usurper?
No Obozo, you have caused the economic downturn.
Obozo is lying scum.
Economic Freefalls without government economic intervention result in bounces as lower costs provide a natural stimulus. Freefalls with governments running up huge debts to create expensive wasteful political oriented government jobs just keep the country in a suspended state of recession while creating inflation in some areas while others are deflating, a huge squeeze play on employers.
It was never explained to me why wasting lots of money on government directed consumption and threatening private sector job creators with the bill (only if they take risks and if they are successful) will encourage private sector job growth. How about raising the minimum wage right at the time of peak job loss? Worse yet states like Maryland actually raise the unemployment insurance payroll tax with increasing unemployment promoting more layoffs punishing new hiring. How could this ever work? It reminds me of ethanol.
Thankfully most people aren’t buying his lies.
ROTFLMAO
Alright, now it’s obvious that the only person he’s trying to convince is himself.
“Thankfully most people aren’t buying his lies.”
Not any more at least (Hopefully).
Ok then, SHOW ME THE JOBS!
There ARE no jobs. What few there are are being taken by Illegal Immigrants that Obama is protecting so vociferously.
The Skittles Index is up sharply, and the Uniform Unicorn Report shows a 20% increase.

“.....Obama said Friday his policies had pulled America out of the most vicious economic dive since the 1930’s”
Brazen, outrageous, narcissistic, megalomiacal prevaricating demogoguery.
Obama is claiming credit for preventing something that no one can prove would have happened. The Republicans should do the same thing - claim Obama has prevented the greatest economic upturn this country has ever seen by not implementing across-the-board tax cuts. One avoided/missed future is at least as valid as another.
"Yeah! That's the ticket!"
He plays on the strong delusion...he’s counting on it.
