US President Barack Obama reacts to applause at the Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus December 4, 2013 in Washington, DC. Obama on Wednesday returned to the core economic philosophy of middle class opportunity on which he has centered his presidency, as he strives to exit a second term slump. The US leader struck economic themes familiar from his two presidential campaigns as he sought to steady his administration after self-inflicted wounds over his health care law which have seen his popularity slide.
