WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.--President Obama warned of another "Sputnik moment" in the United States in a speech here, saying the country must invest in innovation and technology as it did in the 1950's and 60's to match the Soviet Union, which launched Sputnik, the first satellite to orbit the earth. "We need a commitment to innovation we haven't seen since President Kennedy challenged us to go to the moon," Obama said at Forsyth Technical Community College....snip...Obama did not detail any new policy ideas to implement this goal, but emphasized he would spend the next several months looking for new ideas to increase innovation.
44 - Obama warns of new 'Sputnik moment' for United States
I think President Obama is more concerned with creating his presidential legacy than he is in solving our current economic problems.
Me thinks we need to hang onto our wallets...
