- Description:
- President Obama delivers the annual State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress. Obama outlines priorities for legislative action proposing a variety of ways to accelerate the economic recovery including universal preschool and making college more affordable. Saying, "It's not a bigger government we need, but a smarter government that sets priorities and invests in broad-based growth," Obama details new programs but assures listeners there will be no increase to the deficit. He calls for changes to voting processes and an end to extraordinarily long waits to cast a ballot. Obama closes by invoking the memory of those affected by gun violence stirring the crowd by declaring that gun control proposals deserve consideration in Congress and the victims "deserve a vote."
