Sorry to be a wet blanket, but I believe President Bush is making a huge mistake in implying that the president actually has that much influence on the economy.

I guess you missed this quote:

"The role of government is not to manage or control the economy from Washington, D.C., but to remove obstacles standing in the way for faster economic growth. That's our role."

He's still implying that the government can control the economy through it's actions and mentions nothing of the delay of impact to the economy of any policy enactments. He needs to establish the fact that any policy enacted now will take time (possibly years) to work through the economy. The public is under the false assumption that action today will translate to almost immediate relief (within months). Accordingly, if there's no turnaround by next year, he will be blamed and could be in danger of losing his reelection bid.
