Yo, Mr. President, are you talking to me?
Whenever President Obama talks about economic recovery, he inevitably mentions how American innovators and entrepreneurs will be key. After a quick look over each shoulder and realizing there’s no one else he could be referring to, I, a recent innovator/entrepreneur, ask myself, “Yo, Mr. President, are you talking to me?” To be clear, that’s not a DeNiro/Taxi Driver “Are you talking to me,” but more of a are-you-serious-I’m-the-next-contestant-on-The-Price-Is-Right! “Are you talking to me.”
I’ll be honest. It’s hard to imagine how my little bitty company, Glophers (gophers that glow) selling Glovals (ovals that glow) is going to save the world. Hey, I think my invention – a portable lighted sign frame – is pretty nifty and has applications on, yes, even a global scale. But I’ve always had the disadvantage of a limited view when looking at the mass market world. On the other hand, I want to be positive and a patriot so instead of resisting my role as economic superhero, I’m going to just slip into my cape and tights and get started. Wish me luck. Oh, and if you’d like to join me on my patriotic economic crusade, come buy some glovals at www.glovals.com.
