This RealClearMarkets article by Robert Tracinski really does a job on our President, his jobs plan, and government intervention in the market, generally. Tracinski draws an analogy between the Post Office's current troubles and Obama's desire to "manage" the economy. He concludes: The government does not need to intervene to get people to come up with new ideas or to encourage entrepreneurs to grow and become successful. It only needs to get out of the way.
You'll enjoy the various examples of government failure to spur growth cited by the author.
