Obama promises major investment in science

President Barack Obama on Monday promised a major investment in research and development for scientific innovation, saying the United States has fallen behind others.

"I believe it is not in our character, American character, to follow — but to lead. And it is time for us to lead once again. I am here today to set this goal: we will devote more than 3 percent of our GDP to research and development," Obama said in a speech at the annual meeting of the National Academy of Sciences.
