President Barack Obama: State Of The Union Address

Barack Obama Dept: WASHINGTON - U.S. President Barack Obama implored lawmakers and the American public alike to get behind his vision for the nation's future on Tuesday in his fourth State of the Union address, emphasizing the progress his administration has made on the economy but urging the country to stay the course, according to Winnipeg Free Press. But he acknowledged that millions of Americans still cannot find work, adding that wages and incomes have "barely budged" despite soaring corporate profits and president Barack Obama, flanked by Vice President John Biden and House Speaker John Boehner smiles as he gives his State of the Union address during a joint session of Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday Feb. 12, 2013.
