2010 State of the Union

On January 27, 2010, President Obama delivered his first State of the Union speech. During his oration, Obama addressed the challenges of the economy, proposing a fee for larger banks, announcing a possible freeze on government spending in 2010 and speaking against the Supreme Courts reversal of a law capping campaign finance spending. He also challenged politicians to stop thinking of re election and start making positive changes, criticizing Republicans for their refusal to support any legislation, and chastizing Democrats for not pushing hard enough to get legislation passed. He also insisted that, despite obstacles, he was determined to help American citizens through the nations current domestic difficulties. We dont quit. I dont quit, he said. Lets seize this moment to start anew, to carry the dream forward, and strengthen our union once more.
