Tim Cook to attend State of the Union Address with Michelle Obama
It was announced on Monday that Apple CEO Tim Cook will be attending President Barack Obama's State of the Union address as a guest of First Lady Michelle Obama.
Joining Cook as a guest of the First Lady will be military families, individuals who have been affected by gun violence and Bobak Ferdowski from the Mars Curiosity rover team, among others, reports the Contra Costa Times.
Cook's invitation comes after Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, attended the State of the Union last year. in that address, President Obama pointed to the tech guru's ingenuity as an example of the best and brightest America has to offer.
President Obama's first State of the Union address for his second term in office will be held on Tuesday beginning at 7 p.m. Eastern.

$329 says that part of Obama's speech will talk about companies bringing some manufacturing jobs back to the US, and use Apple/Cook as an example. Any takers??
Come on, I could use the $329 for...something.

Looks like Apple will be mentioned again - Remember Apple being singled out in the presidential debate?

*facepalm*
*sigh* now this should be bothering people. stay away from Washington Tim!
I'm thinking it will be all about partnering education with technology, i.e. getting an iPad into the hands of every student, teacher, administrator in the country.
