Obama Says U.S. Must Foster Business-Friendly Climate

President Barack Obama said the U.S. must foster a business climate that will encourage job creation and that includes assuring that companies can draw on an educated workforce and that the federal debt is brought under control.

“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,” the president said at an Intel Corp. semiconductor manufacturing facility in Hillsboro, Oregon, west of Portland.
