Obama should make the centerpiece of his presidency mobilizing a million new start-up companies that won’t just give us temporary highway jobs, but lasting good jobs that keep America on the cutting edge. The best way to counter the Tea Party movement, which is all about stopping things, is with an Innovation Movement, which is all about starting things.
Thomas Friedman, “More (Steve) Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, Jobs,” New York Times, 1/23/2010.
At the risk of being “that guy who quotes Tom Friedman,” his column this week is the most poignant I’ve read lately. Innovation and entrepreneurship are what made America great, and it’s time to renew our focus around them. I support Friedman’s call for making 2010 the year of the start-up.
