At stake is whether new jobs and industries take root in this country, or somewhere else. It's whether the hard work and industry of our people is rewarded. It's whether we sustain the leadership that has made America not just a place on a map, but the light to the world.
Why are these things "at stake"? Why are they not things we will do?
And why does he include the possibility of jobs taking root "somewhere else"? For some reason, the drilling moratorium pops into my head on that thought.

Thanks to the tax cuts we passed, Americans' paychecks are a little bigger today.
The only tax cuts was 2% off of the SS Payroll tax. Everything else is status quo. No new tax cuts were made. And the 2% is being swallowed up by 5%-10% rise of basic necessities - so, yes, paychecks are bigger, but purchasing power is smaller.

Yes, Sputnik moment. Are you smacking your head because you didn't understand what he meant, or because you don't agree with the concept that the success of Russia's Sputnik satellite is what lit the fire under our azzes to surpass them in technology that spurned thousands of innovations, and now we must use China's success in alternative energy technology to light a new fire?
Imagine that! And then obama goes and GUTS NASA back to the moon program last year.
