SOTU Preview: Obama To Focus Speech On Jobs, Innovation, Cooperation

If "a sputnik moment' is one where (in the past) the American people became aware that another country was more advanced than we scientific­ally, or that 36 other countries now, are already providing their people with affordable health care and are more advanced than America on a humane social level ...or that more than a few countries now are investing in their own infrastruc­tures and using high speed bullet trains and alternativ­e energies to move themselves into the future instead of feeding the failed ways of imperialis­m to maintain control of obsolete and limited fuel resources.­..Then you bet this is a sputnik moment!

And more Americans everyday are becoming aware of what much of the civilized internatio­nal world has known for some time now.

We're falling so far behind, we're coming up from the rear and gaining on ourselves while Corporate, military and financial America continues to absorb and deplete any and all financial possibilit­y we need for us to so much as consider competing with other countries.

I'll be curious to see the actual numbers of just how many people don't even bother to watch the SOTU address.

Not that if those numbers are abysmal we'll ever hear it.
