Is the US losing technological lead to Europe, China, Japan, s.Korea, India etc?

Hey! I like Canadians! Republicans are going to have to get behind education in the United States. All potential scientists can not afford to to go to private schools. Thank Bush for at least one useless war! "Mission Accomplished" what hogwash! We need to take our kids most seriously. They look to adults and the country is in a mess, racism is making a comeback as is bigotry. Renewable energy is going to p the US by like everything else and our lawmakers squabble over trite issues. We need a President like Barack Obama now more than ever. He believes Americans can accomplish anything they put their minds to. Our infrastructure is crumbling. Looking at China and Japan with high speed rails and you wonder why we have lagged so far behind. LAWMAKERS!
