      The president has very little effect on the economy. The media has a greater effect than the president.

        The US and world economy are being manipulated. Neither candidate will have any control of the eventual outcome. Energy is more important.

        It's a problem, but the president has far less power in controlling the economy than other matters. Let's get our troops out of Iraq.

        If we could stop spending billions each month in Iraq, perhaps we could fix our economy.
