I'd rather have the President away golfing than at the White House making decisions on how to "fix" things.  We've had zero new net jobs since Clinton's last year in office in 2000, so government policies to "grow the economy" have had the opposite effect they were intended to have.

Big concern had been that private sector hiring nosedived after 2000.  There was a bunch of government hiring post-2000, but with austerity abounding, there have been layoffs.
