US President Barack Obama has promised a "very specific" plan next month to improve the flagging US economy.

美国总统奥巴马承诺在下个月拿出一项“非常具体”的刺激经济计划。

In Iowa on day one of a rural Midwest bus tour, he said he would put forward the blueprint1 when Congress returned in September.

As President Obama spoke2, his would-be 2012 Republican challengers blamed him for the flagging American economy.

With US unemployment jammed at just above 9%, jobs could well remain a major issue for voters in 2012.

Responding to a question in a town hall in Decorah, Iowa, on Monday evening, Mr Obama said: "I'll be putting forward when they [lawmakers] come back in September a very specific plan to boost the economy, to create jobs and to control our deficit3.

"And my attitude is - get it done."

'Lowering the rhetoric4'

Mr Obama set off on Monday morning on a three-day swing through Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois.

The tour - in an imposing5 Secret Service armoured bus - is officially a White House event, although Republicans called it a campaign trip.

The BBC's Marcus George in Washington says Mr Obama is trying to reassert his leadership and, indirectly6, shore up support in states that could make or break his campaign for a second term.

During Mr Obama's stop in Decorah, he clashed with a local leader of the conservative Tea Party, Ryan Rhodes.

Mr Rhodes referred to reports that Vice-President Joe Biden had likened Tea Party members during recent debt-ceiling negotiations7 to terrorists.

Mr Obama replied: "In fairness, since I have been called a socialist8 who wasn't born in this country, who is destroying America and taking away its freedoms because I passed a health care bill, I am all for lowering the rhetoric（修辞） ."

Mr Obama's approval rating dipped below 40% for the first time in a Gallup daily tracking poll on Sunday, although recent polls have shown far lower voter satisfaction with Congress.
