"The Makers of Things"

And they said President Obama's inaugural speech had no sound bites.

It's been a long time since any politician has mentioned "the makers of things." President Obama put "the makers of things" on the plus side, in the constructive column, flagged as the good guys.

The makers of things -- as in not the paper-pushers, the number crunchers, the sales people, the MBA's, but the people who actually create something. 

The people who add to the world, who transform nothing into something, who put something before you that wasn't there before.

The makers of things imagine something and work it into reality. Maybe it's made in a factory, or a farm field; a theatre or a canvas. Maybe it's made of paper or steel. Maybe you can hold it or stand on it or sing it or read it.

More than piling up money. More valuable than money. Taking the invisible from the inside and making it a contribution to the outside.

"The Makers of Things." It's a perfect sound bite.
