    “We need a commitment to innovation we haven’t seen since President Kennedy challenged us to go to the moon,” Obama said at Forsyth Technical Community College.

       He urged members of both parties to “focus on what is necessary to win the future.”

       Obama did not detail any new policy ideas to implement this goal, but emphasized he would spend the next several months looking for new ideas to increase innovation.

    <

    p>Kennedy challenged us with a specific goal. Obama first passed the buck to his imaginary bipartisan coalition, then told us he’ll be thinking about it. That’s some real leadership there.

    <

    p>If all he has to give us is optimism, I have to say that my hope has been running on fumes for about a year now, and is about to sputter to a halt.
