3:25 am
welcome to the "overnight news" i'm michelle miller. president obama went before joint session of congress to deliver the final state of the union address of his presidency. he didn't outline any bold new proposals, instead giving his upbeat assessment of his seven years in office and his hopes for the future. it was likely mr. obama's final primetime opportunity to speak to the nation before the party
3:26 am
it comes at a time when seven in ten americans say the country is headed in the wrong direction. here is some of what the president had to say. >> tonight marks the eighth year that i have come here to report on the state of the union. and for this final one i'm going to try to make it a little shorter. [ applause ] and i know some of you are antsy to get back to iowa. but for my final address to this chamber, i don't want to just talk about next year. i want to focus on the next five years, the next ten years, and beyond. we're in the middle of the longest streak of private sector job creation in history. [ applause ]
3:27 am
the strongest two years of job growth since the 1990s, an unemployment rate cut in half. our auto industry just had its best year ever. [ applause ] that's just part of a manufacturing surge that created nearly 900,000 new jobs in the past six years. and we have done all of this while cutting our deficits by almost 3/4. any one claiming that america's economy is in decline is peddling fiction. i believe a thriving private sector is the lifeblood of our economy. i think there are outdated regulations that need to be
3:28 am
be cut. but after years now of record corporate profits, working families won't get more opportunity or bigger pay checks, just by letting big banks or big oil or hedge funds make their own rules and everybody else's expense. [ applause ] and middle-class families are not going to feel more secure because we allowed a tax on collective bargaining to go unanswered. food stamp recipients did not cause the financial crisis. recklessness on wall street did. look, if anybody still wants to dispute the science around climate change.
3:29 am
you will be pretty lonely. because you will be debating our military, most of america's business leaders, the majority of the american people, almost the entire scientific community, and 200 nations around the world who agree it is a problem and intend to solve it. but, i told you earlier, all the talk of america's economic decline is, political hot air. well so is all of the rhetoric you hear about our enemies getting stronger, and america getting weaker. i mean, let me tell you something. the united states of america is the most powerful nation on earth. period. [ applause ] period! it's not even close. it's not even close. we spend more on our military than the next eight nations combined. our troops are the finest fighting force in the history of
3:30 am
[ applause ] but as we focus on destroying isil, over the top claims that this is world war iii, just play into their hands. masses of fighters on the back of pickup trucks, twisted souls plotting in apartments or garages, they pose an enormous danger to civilians. they have to be stopped. but they do not threaten our national existence. the future we want, all of us want, opportunity and security for our families, a rising standard of living, a sustainable peaceful planet for our kids. all of that is within our reach. but it will only happen if we work together. it will only happen if we can
3:31 am
debates. it will only happen if we fix our politics. >> the republican response was delivered by south carolina governor niki haley. >> barack obama's election as president broke historic barriers and inspired millions of americans. as he did when he first ran for office, tonight, president obama spoke eloquently about grand things. he is at his best when he does that. unfortunately, the president's record has often fallen far short of his soaring words. as he enters his final year in office, many americans are still feeling the squeeze of an economy too weak to raise income levels.
3:32 am
national debt. a health care plan that made insurance less affordable and doctors less available. and chaotic unrest in many of our cities. even worse, we are facing the most dangerous terrorist threat our nation has seen since september 11th. and this president appears unwilling or unable to deal with it. soon the obama presidency will end, and america will have the chance to turn in a new direction. that direction is what i want to talk about tonight. at the outset, i'll say this. you have paid attention to what has been happening in washington. and you're not naive. neither am i. i see what you see. and many of your frustrations are my frustrations. a frustration with a government that has grown day after day, year after year, yet doesn't serve us any better. a frustration with the same endless conversations we hear over and over again. a frustration with promises made, and never kept. we need to be honest with each other and with ourselves. while democrats in washington
3:33 am
problems facing america today, they do not bear it alone. there is more than enough blame to go around. we as republicans need to own that truth. we need to recognize our contributions to the erosion of the public trust in america's leadership. we need to accept that we have played a role in how and why our
