Obama Calls for Innovation, Cooperation in State of the Union Address

President Obama attempted to rally Americans to what he called a 21st-century version of the space race during his State of the Union address Tuesday night. The president said new investments and innovations will be required for the United States to stay competitive and "win the future." Seeking to "sway his audience with rhetoric rather than voluminous specifics," the president didn't recommend any particular new programs but spoke in general terms about his administration's priorities, including job creation and new technologies. "Half a century ago, when the Soviets beat us into space with the launch of a satellite called Sputnik, we had no idea how we'd beat them to the moon," Obama said. "NASA didn't even exist. But after investing in better research and education, we didn't just surpass the Soviets; we unleashed a wave of innovation that created new industries and millions of new jobs." Obama also discussed the fiscal difficulties that will restrict spending for the duration of his administration. He proposed a ban on earmarks and "a five year budget freeze on non-security related discretionary spending," which if enacted would save $400 billion over the next five years. With people from Tucson sitting with the first lady, Obama acknowledged the shooting that killed six and wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords earlier this month. He acknowledged the lawmakers who skipped the usual party-segregated seating arrangement to sit with colleagues literally across the aisle, but he said "What comes of this moment will be determined not by whether we can sit together tonight, but whether we can work together tomorrow."
