“The United States need to be a leader in thought, design, and execution. Economic victory requires nothing less,” Yoshikami writes. “But is there a model America can follow? Is there a corporation that epitomizes innovation that can be a learning lesson for other companies? The answer is yes; Apple. Apple has demonstrated what can be done with visionary leadership and courageous creativity.”
Yoshikami writes, “It’s not unlike thinking 10 steps ahead in a chess match. Grandmasters that follow this path are the ones that win championships, not those that merely react to the current environment. Thinking ahead, and in a way that alters the product/service landscape, is the Apple way.”
“America must play to win and not rest on past successes. A new history begins now. The past is irrelevant. AMERICA MUST PLAY TO WIN starting today,” Yoshikami writes. “While the rest of the world may have been tempted to give up on the United States, they take the leader of the economic world lightly at their own risk. It takes discipline, commitment, and innovation; all of which America can summon if the desire to win is strong enough.”
Yoshikami writes, “Yes, this is this generations [sic] Sputnik moment; will America rise up and meet the challenge? We believe the United States will shock the world with it’s resilience. And we believe the challenge will be met. The alternative is second place and something America dislikes. Winning matters in America.”

MacDailyNews Take: Debt-free Apple spends less money than it takes in and has banked a vast surplus for the future. America has a long, long, long way to go to be like Apple.

Hawaii Gov. Admits There Are No Obama Birth Records In Hawaii…
It’s interesting that the “space race” was mentioned as a past example, because that is part of “this generations” solution.
Instead of just giving away billions of dollars in “stimulus spending,” that money needs to be spent on projects of the scale that only the government of a large developed nation can undertake. Those projects should also have lasting economic value.
The nation that can effectively exploit the resources of space is the nation that leads in the future. There are many important resources, but the key resource is ENERGY. With access to abundant and cheap energy, you can do anything. For example, you can de-salinate seawater in large-enough quantity to make a difference. With more fresh water, you can farm more land and grow more food. You can take recycling to a point that is currently economically not viable. You can lower the cost of manufacturing production in a way that does not involve cheap labor. The possibilities are boundless…
With the exception of hydro, geothermal, and nuclear (which all have significant limitations), major Earth-based energy resources are running out (or will eventually run out). And they expensive. There is virtually limitless potential for energy (and other resources) from space. The U.S. and Russia are far ahead in space technology. Let’s exploit that advantage while we are still ahead.

Obama’s State of the Union Was Tantamount to Plagiarism
http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/alvin-felzenberg/2011/01/26/obamas-state-of-the-union-was-tantamount-to-plagiarism
so much for that speech he made. pathetic!
Wasn’t there something in the news recently about Italian scientists supposedly developing cold fusion?? There’s your cheap power.
@Ken1w
I agree. Even on earth it is calculated that in 6 months, the amount hitting the earths surface = the total of all of the Earth’s non-renewable resources of coal, oil, natural gas, and mined uranium combined.
That only represents a certain percentage of what gets through (30% alone is reflected back into space)
Energy is power. The US is a technological powerhouse…the opportunity to take bake economic supremacy is now.
The US should throw more money at it (another sputnik moment?).
We need to be more like Apple and our internet access has to be more like South Korea’s.
I intentionally did not read any of the comments for fear of being aggravated by right-wingnuts who go totally off message as well as distort via ignorance and hatred the truth.
I bet the lame stream media paid no attention to any of this extremely important news…..

Way to lock down that border Obama. We feel so safe. We know you are only worried about Tea Partiers. Keep copying what other presidents said and pretending it’s your words.
Way to keep your head in the sand negative auramac. The truth hurts doesn’t it.
Obama’s Message to America: The Era of Big Government is Back, Now Help Me Pay For It
Sarah Palin on Thursday, January 27, 2011
The President’s State of the Union address boiled down to this message: “The era of big government is here as long as I am, so help me pay for it.” He dubbed it a “Winning The Future” speech, but the title’s acronym seemed more accurate than much of the content.

Hey aurasmac,
What about the horrible comments made by the left wing nuts??? You left them out. Or is it you only like their lying comments??
Yeah Palin really seams like she doesn’t know what’s going on around her. NIce try comrades trying to paint her as dumb. She runs circles around communists.

Considering that a bowling ball is sharper than Palin, it’s a safe bet to say her IQ isn’t too high. You think somebody who could be outwitted by a doorknob is intelligent. What does that say about you?
Also, I thought my comment made it petty clear I’ve got no love for Bush III… Sorry, I mean Obama or his administration. But I guess the grunting apes the GOP hires to astroturf for them ain’t too big on the reading comprehension, eh?
“GRRAAAAAWR!! YOU SAY BAD THING ABOUT STUPID MANFACE LADY! *UHUHUH* LIBEEERRALL! LIIIIIIBEEEERRAAAAAAALL!!!”
I remain amazed by turpitude of the faux conservatives posting here. The best description I’ve seen is that it’s merely “willful ignorance of the intellectually lazy.” Shakespeare said it best, “Angels and ministers of grace defend us!”
I remain amazed at the number of Marxists posting here. Truly brain dead sheeple.
Let’s see Obama can’t make a speech without a teleprompter and the very few times he tries to speak without one he comes off sounding like the most uneducated moron ever elected President. He pick Joe “Plugs” Biden, the dimmest wit to be VP in a long time. He lies left and right and changes position every time the wind blows. The guy can’t be defended. He has not proven he is a real US citizen. Yeah keep trying to run red herrings with false comments about Palin genius.
If United States wanna be like “an” Apple they must want to be more product-oriented and not money-oriented. Expanding product-orientation to a “statehood kind a sense”, I’d say, that United States should stop invading poor countries with the mission of democratization, believing that make everybody think democracy is the best thing, is the best thing to do at all.
Instead, they should get their hands dirty on how they act to represent the idea of democracy. Because now their democracy looks like hell: guns on the streets, prison landscape, lack of health care…, Fox News, O’Reilly Factor… and all sorts of this stupid Manufacturing Consent all around.
America! Listen! Remember! And don’t You forget it. Just those two bulletpoints.
– Nobody likes you anymore;
– Nobody need you as you are now.
You stupid, arrogant. But cool – play this!
Ps. Obama, btw, is seen at least as the guy who ain’t done anything worst than the other “fickers” YTD – respect him! Love him! What does it difference he isn’t catholic. That’s even better for your heads. You should only kick his arse to get him to work – “lazy bastard”.
kurtvonnegut,
You are one twisted, mentally disturbed soul. America could give a flying crap what you and the rest of the world think. We didn’t invade small countries to spread democracy. Once there for other reasons we felt it our duty to set them up that way to give their people a better chance. What they choose to do with that chance is up to them. You kurt can go to hell.
Damn, that’s some hardhitting stuff from somebody who very obviously has no idea what a Marxist is. Applause.
“Let’s see Obama can’t make a speech without a teleprompter and the very few times he tries to speak without one he comes off sounding like the most uneducated moron ever”
Oh, just like Palin then. Remind me again, why do we passionately hate Obama even though he’s been doing nothing that the GOP’s beloved Dubya wouldn’t have done? Ah, that’s right. Democrat.
And why do we love Palin? …Yes, now I remember. Weak rightwing subservient female. Given a “tough” rebel exterior persona by speechwriters, interior made of obedience and pudding. The empty-headed dreamgirl of many a feminism-hating, phony “conservative”‘s fantasies.
@Auramac
Don’t be put off by the right wing nutbars on here, I firmly believe it is one or two at best. You can see it in USNews or Rambo’s writing. Its repetitive and utilizes much of the same sentence structure.
As I said before, a pathetic childish little kid who is posting to stir crap up. I also think he has a Palin fetish….probably wasn’t weaned properly.
aurasmac,
75% of Americans do not like liberal-socialism. You shouldn’t be surprised about the posts. They reflect reality.
Sherlock Bluster,
Keep dreaming about conspiracy theories. The facts are the facts. And you and your comrades are pathetic left wing nutbars.
Buster,
Please tune into http://www.marklevinshow.com and he is at this minute taking apart Mr. Obamaninajad’s speech. You could actually learn something listening to Mark.
