We Are The Music Makers, And We Are The Dreamers Of Dreams

Obama wants to invite musicians and scientists and hold poetry readings at the White House:

"Historically, what has always brought us through hard times is that national character, that sense of optimism, that willingness to look forward, that sense that better days are ahead. I think that our art and our culture, our science--you know, that's the essence of what makes America special, and we want to project that as much as possible in the White House."
