Quote of the Day - Barack Obama on Hip Hop

"What I've appreciated, watching this hip-hop generation, is to see how entrepreneurial they've been. In the past, musicians oftentimes were commodities. They were just shuffled around. Obviously, they did well, but they didn't have the vision to say, 'I'm going to build a business, I'm going to build my own studio, I'm going to create my own production operations. I think they're a lot more sophisticated than in the past, and that is a wonderful thing. What I'm starting to see is them stretching out more and thinking about social responsibility and how they can impact the culture in a positive way, and I hope that continues."

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“I believe that America's free market has been the engine of America's great progress. It's created a prosperity that is the envy of the world. It's led to a standard of living unmatched in history. And it has provided great rewards to the innovators and risk-takers who have made America a beacon for science, and technology, and discovery…We are all in this together. From CEOs to shareholders, from financiers to factory workers, we all have a stake in each other's success because the more Americans prosper, the more America prospers.”

— Barack Obama
