HILLSBORO, Oregon (AFP) – President Barack Obama vowed Friday to make America "the best place on Earth to do business," making his case for investments that have sparked a raging budget battle with Republicans.
Obama traveled to Intel's most sophisticated semiconductor plant in Oregon to tout his plans to invest in science and education ..
"In a world that is more competitive than ever before, it's our job to make sure that America is the best place on earth to do business," Obama said,
"Even as we have to live within our means, we can?t sacrifice investments in our future," Obama said.
"If we want the next technological breakthrough that leads to the next Intel to happen here in the United States -- not in China or not in Germany... then we have to invest in America?s research and technology, in the work of our scientists and our engineers."
Obama's budget released on Monday would shift billions towards technology and green energy sectors, and into transportation systems, while imposing spending freezes and trimming unaffordable projects.
But Republicans complain Obama is wasting money on big spending programs while doing little to bring the deficit, forecast to reach $1.65 trillion this year, under control.
Since his State of the Union address last month, Obama has been trying to convince Americans that their country can only compete with nations like China and India ..
"If we want to make sure Intel doesn't have to look overseas for skilled, trained workers, then we?ve got to invest in our people -- in our schools, in our colleges, in our children," Obama said in Oregon.
"Basically, if we want to win the future, America has to out-build, and out-innovate, and out-educate and out-hustle the rest of the world. That's what we?ve got to do."

Obama has been a hustler from day 1.
He’s a blithering, blabbering idiot.
Just words...
I thought those words would come back to haunt Obama. I am glad someone else picked up on that comment. Good going.
He relegates everything to the basketball court and community organizing.
So tell me, what the hell is that big scar on our Fearless Reader's head all about. Hockey-stick-shaped, which is enough to excite everyone in Presque Isle.
Speak!

Whateva happened to my hot linker, frickin' MAC?
Ahhh...the Hustle, that most entertaining of 1970’s dance crazes. What an interesting choice of words for Obama to use.
I wonder if Obama realizes he himself conjures up images of the 1970’s...failed economic policies, record unemployment, liberal stank...
agreed he is just a puppet for the puppet masters who run his mouth...
What I want to know is with all our jobs and manufacturing closed down....
Oh i get it,
America is going to be the drop-ship distribution center for chinese products.
No sarc , just disdain for what has happened to the greatest nation on earth
EL
“hustle” sounds like a naughty word i’ve heard before
I am guessing he hasn't been to a Walmart recently, because if he had he would know that most Americans are currently so fat that they can't even walk and have to ride around in those little electric buggies at the store.
We are not going to “out-hussle” anyone in this state.
End the food stamp program and then MAYBE we can start getting people off their fat butts again.
“A hustle here
A hustle there
New York City is the place where.....
Cue up the oompah band.
Out hussle - what a class act.
We need to start by hustling Zer0 out of office.
Even back then, inventions were "political".
Dean Yeager: Doctor... Venkman. The purpose of science is to serve mankind. You seem to regard science as some kind of dodge... or hustle. Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist, Dr. Venkman!
The man is clueless.
We need a President, not a hustler-in-chief.
