2015 State of the Union address
President Barack Obama urged the nation Tuesday night to "turn the page" on years of economic troubles, terrorism and lengthy wars, arguing that his presidency had ushered in an era of smarter American leadership and a growing U.S. economy.
"It's now up to us to choose who we want to be over the next fifteen years, and for decades to come," Obama said in excerpts released ahead of his State of the Union address.
Obama was speaking to a Congress controlled by Republicans for the first time in his presidency. But the policies he was calling for suggested he had no plans to curtail his own agenda in favor of GOP priorities. (AP)
