Your Future in the CloudsPresident Barack Obama

State of the Union AddressJanuary 25, 2011

“We need to out-innovate, out-educate and out-build the rest of the world.”

“We are the nation that put cars in driveways and computers in offices, the nation of Edison

and the Wright brothers, of Google and Facebook. In America, innovation doesn’t just change our lives. It’s how we make a living.”
