    I would love to help him, but I doubt he would listen to me.

    I would suggest that he lower taxes, change trade regulations so that it is profitable to keep jobs here rather than outsourcing them, and work with small businesses directly. I would also suggest that he not place additional burdens by increasing spending and regulations designed to give the government more power.

    Stop wasting our tax money on hopeless causes. I could help him, but not bowing to big business I'd probably get wasted by some government fall guy. As long as the U.S is made in China we hardly stand a chance. The U.S. has to become more independent in the world, and stop getting everything we need from foreign sources. In reality, no matter who becomes president it will either get worse or remain bad until we kick these foreign manufactures out of the picture and start manufacturing what we need for ourselves. If the policies of the U.S. are not changed we are all doomed to be subservient to the whims of our foreign suppliers.

    Cut our freakin TAXES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    He wants me to hire more people, then allow me to make more money, bring in more money ect.Give the people their money back, give us more of what we earn so we can spend our money. Also get outta the effin way of business, drop that stupid cap & trade idea & the healthcare reform & let WE THE PEOPLE recover from this economic insanity. Stop trying to figure out how to spend a Trillion dollars of Tax Payers money on programs & get the economy moving, the more they get involved the worse things get, President Clinton & Bush the first 6 years did exactly that & business thrived. This guy "OBAMA" is as clueless as a 6 year old.

    I agree he should follow Bill Clinton's lead and leave this to those more qualified. Mitt Romney comes to mind especially if he's looking at replacing Timmy Geitner.

    Two of my suggestions:

    Cut taxes so individuals have more to spend and business have more to hire more employees.

    Stop spending: many of the things the feds are throwing money at should be the job of the states to take care of. All IMHO so YMMV

    Presidents Kennedy and Reagan cut taxes and stayed out of the private sector. Worked for them.

    Simple, get government out of the way. It's ridiculous to hear Obama having "job creation summits" and such when at the same time he demonizes job creators and signals them that many costly mandates are on the way that will increase the cost of hiring people.

    HE CAN'T. It is for the private sector to "get the economy going", not any one man. We are still a Republic, and not Socialist.

    Cut taxes, drop Obamacare, drop Climate change, drop cap and trade and get out of the way.

    Here's where Clinton excelled. He did nothing, he got out of the way of the economy. Obama is too ******* stupid and egotistical to do that.
