As far as the conspiracy check out http://www.newamericancentury.org. Plans for the United States to achieve complete global domination, which, in my opinion, is wrong. Power breeds corruption. All empires must fall.

Reading it, it talks about democracy achieving global domination. The United States being a force for freedom and prosperity for everyone in the world. I guess global domination would be one way of looking at it.
Stating that our foriegn policy is "horrible" and that every other country hates us is silly. It's simply not true. The US is viewed as a powerful country in the world and for many is their only hope of getting out of desperate situations. The UN currently is a failure. It was given every opportunity to stand by its own resolutions. It allowed Iraq to ignore 17 separate resolutions with little more than a slap on the wrist. The most irresponsible thing for the US to do in this situation would be to not use its power for the betterment of the world.
As far as the economy.. yes.. millions are out of a job. The only way the government can directly influence that situation would be to create more government jobs. Fortunately, they're not pursuing that course of action. We've created a better situation for businesses here in the US to stimulate the economy and job growth. The DOW seems to be trending upwards. This tends to be an indicator that precedes (and is followed) by unemployment numbers.
In the past 3 years, I don't care who the president was or his politics. The economy was trending downwards after Clinton's presidency. 9/11 didn't help it much. To be shooting upward like we are in such a short time is actually pretty impressive.
