Obama: Thank you. Thank you so much. It’s not just the winner of the Super Bowl who deserves to be celebrated, but also the winner of science fairs. And since the Packers beat my Bears, I am reserving all of my celebrating for the winners of the science fairs. They deserve applause! They deserve our applause and our praise and they make me optimistic about America’s future. 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.

Jason: President Obama said we need to hustle. “Hustle” means move quickly and be aggressive. It’s no surprise that Obama said it, since it’s commonly used in sports, and he is a sports fan. You can hustle in business, in a game or even to pack up your things and catch a train. Many people had to hustle to set up the room for Obama’s speech.

Obama: …that’s what America will prove in the months and years ahead. Thank you, guys, God bless you.

Jason: After the speech, everyone had to stay in the room until Obama left the building. No amount of hustle could get you out.
