US growth slows fueling recovery fears
President Barack Obama has clashed with Republicans over the need for government to help the ailing economy  making spending one of the most fiercely fought political battles in the US capital.
 Obama's critics accuse the president of putting Americans' futures at risk by causing US debt to balloon through ineffective stimulus spending.
 Obama was to visit Detroit Friday to tout a 64-billion-dollar bailout that kept the Motor City's automakers afloat  promoting it as the type of "tough decision" needed to avoid economic depression.
 The White House claims one million auto jobs were saved by Obama's actions  and GM and Chrysler have returned to profit or are on the cusp of doing so.
