Keeping America on the cutting edge

Keeping America on the cutting edge

President Obama is making sure America stays at the forefront of innovation.

Yesterday, the President announced two new public-private manufacturing innovation institutes -- one in Chicago and one in the Detroit area -- and a competition for the first of four additional institutes that will boost advanced manufacturing in the United States.

American manufacturers have created 622,000 jobs since early 2010, and President Obama is committed to building on that progress.

"If we want to attract more good manufacturing jobs to America," he said, "we've got to make sure we're on the cutting edge of new manufacturing techniques and technologies."

Just this afternoon, the President announced that the Department of Transportation is making available $600 million in Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grants, a tremendously successful program investing in our nation's infrastructure.

Those grants won't just help repair our crumbling roads and bridges -- they'll create more jobs in the process.

Learn more about how the President is keeping America on the cutting edge of innovation -- and other ways he's making 2014 a year of action.

We Might Be Building Iron Man

Yesterday, President Obama announced new public-private manufacturing innovation institutes -- one in Chicago and one in the Detroit area -- that will help attract the types of high-quality jobs that a growing middle class requires.

But the President had another announcement, too:

I'm here to announce that we're building Iron Man. I'm going to blast off in a second... this has been a secret project we've been working on for a long time. Not really. Maybe. It's classified.

Find out more about yesterday's announcement and Iron Man. Maybe.
