President can't create jobs

Beware of economic myths! The election is over and now people await job creation from President Obama. Will he or won't he create the jobs Americans so desperately need?

I believe the first question of the first debate asked each candidate what he would do to create jobs. But what about the question itself? Where in the constitution is the president given this role of job creator? Who creates jobs?

One more question: What do you think the term free-market economy means?
