- Description:
- President Barack H. Obama delivers his fourth State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress. He recounts the accomplishments of the previous year including the death of Osama bin Ladin and the end of combat in Iraq. Obama says, "We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well while a growing number of Americans barely get by, or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, and everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules." He promises to continue fighting against the polices that brought on the 2008 economic crisis and proposes lowering taxes on companies that choose to stay in the U.S. and to cease rewarding companies that move operations and assets off shore. He also talks about immigration, education, energy, tax policy, the deficit, campaign financing and lobbying, the Afghan War, and revolution throughout the Middle East.
