Responding to questions from netizens and "Facebook" employees, Mr. Obama said the ailing housing market is now the biggest drag on the U.S. economy and says its biggest regret so far has been dealing with healthcare reform.　　For the remainder of his tenure, he will try to do a better job of promoting science and math education, developing new energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy, and immigration.　　Aside from the hope of expanding influence through the new media of social networking, one important goal of Obama's trip to the West is political fund-raising.
