Call the election results, Republicans to join him, but warned that "I have no intention of fighting."
If you are unsure of the Union, Obama said that to ensure fair treatment for all Americans is the "defining issue of our time." He said the economic recovery at the end of a deep and painful recession, and will oppose any effort to return to the policies that come from low-income countries.
"We've come a long way to turn back," he said.
Obama answered a different perspective, largely on the country's reform and pressure from Republicans in Congress, in response to war and took office in the November election. He defended the government to ensure economic justice for all assets, and their opponents calling on the government to step back and let the free market rule.
Obama offers steps to help students pay for college, and develop a plan to more struggling homeowners to refinance their homes, and tax cuts for manufacturers. Throw in a function of gravity of political responsibility, including universities, warning that they will lose federal aid if they continue to increase tuition fees.
Standing before a divided Congress, with hope in this election year for many miserable of his legislative agenda, and Obama spoke to voters in mind.
"We can solve in a country where people were increasingly less so, although it is a growing number of Americans have access only to" Obama said. "Or we can restore the economy, in each individual fire show, not the place where the whole world, and plays all the members of the same unit of a rare wave of spraying the room and the house from the beginning. Gabrielle Giffords Member of Parliament, of the survivors of an assassination attempt a year ago, he received sustained applause of his colleagues, and shouts: "Gabi, Gabi, Gabi," blew a kiss to the platform of Obama has embraced ..

Even when I was on lawmakers and Obama said near the beginning of his speech that the terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, who died in the attack authorized by the President, no longer poses a threat to the United States.
At the heart of Obama's speech is improving the economy, but the deep wound - this issue continues to lead the U.S. interest, and is likely to determine the next president.
"The state of our union grows stronger," Obama said, calibrating his words are still millions of unemployed. Implicit in his statement that the American dream "by hand" is the recognition that, after three years of the Obama presidency, the country is not there yet.
However, he spoke of the restoration of the basic goals: owning a home, and earn enough to raise a family, and put a little money for retirement.
"We can not do this," Obama said. "I know what I can." He said that Americans are convinced that "Washington is broken," but also said it's not too late to cooperate on important issues.
Not impressed by the Republicans. Much applauded, but they were happy to be transmitted to the President, "The Republican Party of Abraham Lincoln" as saying: "The government must do for people what they can do what is best for themselves - no more"
He called on Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, and give a formal response to the Republican Party and Obama's policies "in favor of the poor", and the tactics of division.
"There is no advantage to the Obama presidency was the saddest part of its ongoing efforts to divide us, to gain the trust of some Americans critical of others," Daniels said after the president's speech.
The criticism of the company in the income gap growing in the country, Obama said the tax rate reduction back to at least 30 percent each to over $ 1 million. Many millionaires - as a competitor, Republican Mitt Romney - to pay less because they get most of your income subject to tax on investment at a lower price.
"Now you can call this class war all you want," Obama said in response to repeated criticism of Republican presidential field. "However, the billionaire who pay at least as far as his secretary in taxes? This is what most Americans call common sense."
Obama calls this "the rule of Buffett", named after billionaire Warren Buffett, who said it was unfair that his secretary pays the highest rate of it. Attended the rally at this point, and Buffett's secretary, Debbie Bosanek, the address in the box, first lady Michelle Obama.
Obama said the proposal with the idea that all the hard work and accountability still counts. Was aimed at independent voters, who helped seal his election in 2008, frustrated by the masses in a country pessimistic about its course.
On defense, with flags of power and influence abroad, Obama said the United States will work to protect the security "against those who threaten our citizens and our friends and our interests." In Iran, said that while all options are on the table to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon - a tacit threat to use military force - a "peaceful solution to this problem is even possible."
With almost everyone in Congress, Obama went after the easy target for reform are trying to keep lawmakers from engaging in insider trading and held that the conflict is the same rules that apply to the interests the Executive.
With the mortgage crisis at this crucial point, despite the continued presence of a number of initiatives in the field of housing management in the last three years, Obama has proposed a new program to allow homeowners with a private sector mortgage refinancing, which was held at the lower interest rates. Administration officials offered few details, but an estimated savings of $ 3000 per year for borrowers in the Mediterranean region.
Obama has proposed measures to combat fraud in the financial sector and the mortgage industry with a financial crimes unit to control the banking and financial services specialists in the sector, a separate special unit of prosecutors and the Federal Bar of the State of expand research on corrupt lending that led to the housing crisis.
At the time of the restrictions in the federal budget and the national debt, Obama found a source of money to finance their ideas proposes allocating half of the unspent funds in the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan to "do some nation building here at home" to help create more jobs and increase competitiveness. And the other half will be, as he said, to help pay the national debt.
Obama also offered to defend the laws that protect American consumers - the rules are often criticized by Republicans and work to eliminate barriers.
"Millions of Americans who work hard and play by the rules every day deserve a government and the financial system to do the same," said Obama. "It's time to apply the same rules from top to bottom: No bailouts, handouts, and not to shoot a police officer who built the United States to insist on the participation of all responsibility."
Obama will address the following night on Tuesday with a three-day visit to five countries in a bid for reelection. On Wednesday, visit Iowa and Arizona to promote ideas to support U.S. industry, on Thursday in the state of Nevada and Colorado, will speak on energy, and Michigan on Friday to discuss the possibility of paying for higher education and training.
The survey shows that Americans are divided on Obama's work in general, but not satisfied with the handling of the economy.
The speech on Tuesday night a week before the Republican Party in Florida that can help determine the way for the rest of the race.
Capture Romney, and even in intense competition with new and Newt Gingrich said Obama's speech before.
"Tonight will be a new chapter in the wrong policies of the last three years - and the lack of leadership from a man," said Romney in the state of Florida.
