One thing our government CAN do is strengthen our currency. But that's still well beyond the control of one man.
To put it into perspective:

Not bursting my bubble, but a president can initiate alternative fuel programs and cut the cord from foreign oil. Anything can help reduce our dependency, we need to start now and stop talking about it.

Needs more than just the President. Congress has to be there as well. Fact is both branches have failed us regarding national energy policies for the past two decades.

Who elects these guys? We have the power to select an effective President and Congress. Unfortunately we stuck with the batch we have until the November. I say fire them all and make changes. The power of the populace vote.
