Carl, you are correct, leader do not create jobs, however, they can create an environment that allows their economy to grow. for example, if they create political stability in their countries that allows for long term/foreign investments, their economy will strive thus creating new jobs. Again I am not an economist, but I believe there are things that a government can do to create such an environment (lot of factors) to encourage growth. PS. Sometime stating a war can give the economy a boost.

That's utter nonsense. Look at North and South Korea at night from a satellite. Same people, same country, completely different lives based on the top-down repression of the government. Everything I said about Bush is true. He set out, along with his Republican cohorts, to transfer money from the middle class and poor to the ultrawealthy. Everything, all of his policies, all of his lying and story-telling, all of his strong-arming, all of this has been to achieve that objective. If you can't see that then you're simply looking at life through the eyes of a child. WAKE UP!
