Obama: ‘America’s resurgence is real’
WAYNE, Mich. (AP)
— Declaring an American
economic resurgence, Presi-
dent Barack Obama opened
a three-state swing Wednes-
day aimed at claiming credit
for recent growth and blunt-
ing the momentum of the
new Republican congressio-
nal leadership.
“We are entering into the
-
dence that America is com-
ing back,” Obama declared
at a Ford plant in Michigan,
a state at the center of both
the downturn and rejuvena-
tion of the U.S. automobile
industry.
From Michigan, Obama
was headed to Phoenix,
where he was to announce
lower insurance premiums
for
government-backed
mortgages. The White
House said the reduction by
the Federal Housing Admin-
istration means new home
-
nance with FHA would pay
$900 less a year than they
would otherwise, in a bid to
help more Americans own
their own homes.
Obama’s road trip comes
amid a surprising burst of
momentum for the White
ident,” Senate Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell
said Wednesday. Obama and
congressional leaders sched-

House following Demo-
crats’ disastrous showing
in the midterm elections.
Alongside signs of econom-
ic progress, the president
has also unveiled a series of
aggressive executive actions
and seen his low approval
ratings start to creep up.
The president has also
talked optimistically about
opportunities to cooperate
with congressional Republi-
cans on issues like trade and
tax reform. But big clashes
between the White House
and the new Republican
The White House has
threatened to veto two pri-
ority pieces of legislation for
the GOP: a bill approving
construction of the Keystone
XL oil pipeline and another
measure that could increase
-
nition of a full-time work-
er from 30 to 40 hours per
week.
“It seems with every
new day we have a new
veto threat from the pres-
new year for Tuesday.
In an effort to counter-
act the veto threats with
new ideas, the White House
plans to use the coming
weeks to outline proposals
the president will discuss
in his Jan. 20 State of the
Union address. The ap-
proach marks a shift from
the White House’s usual
strategy of staying mum
about new proposals until
the annual address to a joint
session of Congress.
“I thought I’d get started
this week,” Obama said. “I
The president said his
State of the Union address
would focus on what steps
the country needs to take
-
economic gains. While the
economic recovery has been
uneven throughout much of
Obama’s presidency, there
have been recent surges
in growth fueled by hiring
gains, falling gas prices and
