Obama: "We've Taken A Scalpel To The Discretionary Budget Rather Than A Machete"

President Obama talks about how we can "win the future."



"I think that the American people understand that. At the same time, we're going to be making some key investments in places like education and science and technology, research and development, that the American people understand is required to win the future. So what we've done is we've taken a scalpel to the discretionary budget, rather than a machete," President Obama said at a press conference on Tuesday morning.
