"Sputnik Moment?"... Are we the Soviet Union Circa 1957?...

Seriously, why didn't the President say this is the time for a Modern Apollo Moment?...

Sputnik was the Soviet's Accomplishment... Apollo was ours... and our Response to Sputnik and the Threat it Posed.

Who is Dominating, or has the Potential to Dominate the World with Green Energy the way the Soviets could have with Sputnik and their Previous Work on the Hydrogen Bomb?

For the Love of GOD, this is a Silly, Childish Analogy on the part of the President Designed to Target the Childish and Silly in his Base.

The Truth of the Matter is that the Countries we are Competing with Economically don't give (2) Shits about the Environment like we do, and their lack of Regulation and Poor Working Standards is why OUR Companies are going there to do Business...

Obama and his People would Suggest that MORE Regulation on OUR part to make the World a Greener Place is the Answer...

And as with THE Liberals before him who Thought that if we would just Disarm, others would be Honest and follow our Lead, he is now Wrong if he Thinks China is going to Cripple it's Exploding Economy with Regulations...

It's Absurd, and only a Childish Mind could Consider such Silliness.

Or the Mind of a Liberal.

You obviously so totally missed the whole point.

Our Sputnik Moment refers to the awakening from our cherished (and completely wrong) arrogance that the Soviet Union was incapable of doing amazing technical feats.

Anybody who was alive when that happened understands how shocking it was and how it then changed this nations' understanding of the importance of teaching our children SCIENCE.

I Understand his Intent, and I say that the Analogy is Flawed when Applied to today...

Secondly, and MORE Importantly to this Thread of Discussion before Ravi came a Bled all over it was that Obama and the Left will Cripple us in this Competition...

We would have Lost the Space Race with the way these People want one hand Tied around our Balls as we "Compete"...

Read what I've Written in this Thread about it.

:)

peace...
