President Obama Speaks to Penn State about Innovation:
"Innovation is what this country is all about. Sparking the imagination and creativity of our people, unleashing new discoveries -- that's what America does better than any other country on Earth. That's what we do. (Applause.) And this innovation has always been driven by individual scientists and entrepreneurs. I was up in Schenectady, New York the other day at the G.E. plant that was Thomas Edison’s original plant. And anywhere you go in the country you will find inventors and businesses that created products that are now sent all around the world. But innovation has also flourished because we as a nation have invested in the success of these individual entrepreneurs, these inventors, these scientists." Read in Full >>

Guest Editorial: State of the Union Analysis by Jonn Mack:
This year I decided to take a different approach to the State of the Union. Normally, I sit intently in my basement with CNN, typing vigorously on my laptop, and texting other politicos asking them if they heard 'this' or if they saw 'that'. This year I went old school. I decided not to be distracted by CNN’s focus group and there 'Like/Dislike' dials, and listen to the speech on a radio without my “crackberry”.
Most people expected this speech to reflect a “new”, more conciliatory President. While to the contrary the President did acknowledge some “political setbacks”, he remained positive - continuing to express his hope for bipartisan support, for middleclass tax cuts, small business tax cuts, tax cuts for families, and increased Pell grants for those in or going to college.
