Doin' It Big

Even though it caused me to miss "Modern Family", President Obama's S.O.T.U. (that's State of the Union for the un-hip) address wasn't half bad.  The fact that the theme of his speech was "We do big things!" (I was waiting for him to throw up the diamond sign at the end of the speech a la Jay-Z) was entertaining, and yet refreshingly different from other S.O.T.U. addresses.  Instead of focusing on political jargon (health care, taxes, etc...), the President seemed to point ahead to what really matters: innovation.  He even mentioned Google and Facebook.  I think its good to see a leader that realizes that the world has changed, and the way our fore fathers did things will not accomplish much in this new world. 

"That’s what Americans have done for over 200 years: reinvented ourselves...We’re issuing a challenge. We’re telling America’s scientists and engineers that if they assemble teams of the best minds in their fields, and focus on the hardest problems in clean energy, we’ll fund the Apollo projects of our time."

Hopefully, quotes like that are more than just ploys to get young voters in the 2012 election, but promises...only time will tell.
