Barack Obama on the economy

In case you missed it, President Obama's speech on the economy (and education) is below.

Some highlights from CNNMoney.com:

President Obama on Monday pushed his plans to make the nation's economy more stable in the future by investing in education for high-tech industries.

The president unveiled a new "innovation strategy" that builds on $100 billion of economic stimulus funds to support entrepreneurship, education, infrastructure and other investments.

The plan aims to make the U.S. economy more competitive and help prevent volatile "boom and bust" cycles in the future, Obama said...

Obama reiterated his call for increased investment in green energy technology, electronic health records and manufacturing advanced vehicles.

The president also pointed to proposed tax cuts and trade policies his administration has perused as ways to make U.S. companies more competitive and prosperous.
