Neither of them is going to do much that actually creates jobs, IMO. But the economy will probably recover at some point over the next four years no matter who is in charge.
That's not to say that neither has the power to change anything. Obama will probably allow the debt to continue to spiral out of control. Romney's economic policies and prioritization when it comes to balancing the budget could decrease social mobility. Either could put a justice on the Supreme Court that seriously affects how the government can act. Both will probably make decisions with major consequences on the gay community. Both will make decisions that have serious consequences for the development of the Middle East.
While jobs are what people care about most, realistically, the federal budget, the scope of government, taxes, foreign policy and civil rights should be the most important issues this election.
