In his first State of the Union speech since the Republicans captured the
House of Representatives in November's election, the US president warned
Congress: "We will move forward together or not at all."
"The challenges we face are bigger than party, and bigger than politics. At
stake is whether new jobs and industries take root in this country, or
somewhere else. It's whether the hard work and industry of our people is
rewarded. It's whether we sustain the leadership that has made America not
just a place on a map, but a light to the world," he said.
Dozens of Democrats and Republicans arrayed before Mr Obama in the House of
Representatives chamber chose to sit next to each other in a gesture of
solidarity following the shooting of congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in a
rampage in Tucson that claimed six lives.
