Experts from across the political spectrum warned that if we did not act, we might face a second depression. So we acted - immediately and aggressively. And one year later, the worst of the storm has passed, but the devastation remains.\"\u003cbr/\u003e8. Wide of House floor\u003cbr/\u003e9. SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, US President:\u003cbr/\u003e\"So we face big and difficult challenges.

That is why jobs must be our number one focus in 2010, and that is why I am calling for a new jobs bill tonight.\"\u003cbr/\u003e19. Audience applauding\u003cbr/\u003e20.

So I know the anxieties that are out there right now.\"\u003cbr/\u003e31. Pan of audience\u003cbr/\u003e32. SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, US President:\u003cbr/\u003e\"We have to recognise that we face more than a deficit of dollars right now. We face a deficit of trust - deep and corrosive doubts about how Washington works that have been growing for years. To close that credibility gap we must take action on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, to end the outsized influence of lobbyists, to do our work openly and to give our people the government they deserve.\"\u003cbr/\u003e33.

And right now, I know there are many Americans who aren''t sure if they still believe we can change - or that I can deliver it. But remember this - I never suggested that change would be easy, or that I can do it alone. Democracy in a nation of three hundred million people can be noisy and messy and complicated. And when you try to do big things and make big changes, it stirs passions and controversy. That''s just how it is.\"\u003cbr/\u003e35. Wide of audience\u003cbr/\u003e36. SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, US President:\u003cbr/\u003e\"We have finished a difficult year. We have come through a difficult decade. But a new year has come. A new decade stretches before us.  We don''t quit. I don''t quit. Let''s seize this moment - to start anew, to carry the dream forward, and to strengthen our union once more.  Thank you. God Bless You. And God Bless the United States of America.\"\u003cbr/\u003e37. Various of Obama shaking hands and leaving podium\u003cbr/\u003eDeclaring \"I don''t quit,\" President Barack Obama fought to recharge his embattled presidency on Wednesday with a State of the Union vow to get jobless millions back to work and to stand on the side of Americans angry at Wall Street greed and Washington bickering. \u003cbr/\u003eDefiant despite stinging setbacks, he said he would fight on for ambitious overhauls of health care, energy and education.\u003cbr/\u003eObama looked to change the conversation from how his presidency is stalling - over the messy health care debate, a limping economy and the missteps that led to Christmas Day''s barely averted terrorist disaster - to how he is seizing the reins. \u003cbr/\u003eHe spoke to a nation gloomy over double-digit unemployment and federal deficits soaring to a record 1.4 (t) trillion US dollars, and to fellow Democrats dispirited about the fallen standing of a president they hoped would carry them through this fall''s midterm elections.\u003cbr/\u003eWith State of the Union messages traditionally delivered at the end of January, Obama had one of the presidency''s biggest platforms just a week after Republicans scored an upset takeover of a Senate seat in Massachusetts, prompting hand-wringing over his leadership. \u003cbr/\u003eWith the turnover erasing Democrats'' Senate super-majority needed to pass most legislation, it also put a cloud over health care and the rest of Obama''s agenda.\u003cbr/\u003eA chief demand was for lawmakers to press forward with his prized health care overhaul, which is in severe danger in Congress. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Do not walk away from reform,\" he implored. \"Not now. Not when we are so close.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe president devoted about two-thirds of his speech to the economic worries foremost on Americans'' minds.\u003cbr/\u003eDeclaring that \"I know the anxieties\" of Americans'' struggling to pay the bills while big banks get bailouts and bonuses, Obama prodded Congress to enact a second stimulus package \"without delay,\" specifying it should contain a range of measures to help small businesses and funding for infrastructure projects. \u003cbr/\u003eAlso, fine tuning a plan first announced in October, Obama said he will initiate a 30 (b) billion US dollar program to provide money to community banks at low rates, provided they agree to increase lending to small businesses. \u003cbr/\u003eThe money would come from balances left in the 700 (b) billion US dollar Wall Street rescue fund, a program he claimed was \"about as popular as a root canal\" and that Obama made of point of saying \"I hated.\"\u003cbr/\u003ePositioning himself as a fighter for the regular guy and a different kind of leader, he urged Congress to require lobbyists to disclose all contacts with lawmakers or members of his administration and to blunt the impact of last week''s Supreme Court decision allowing corporations greater flexibility in supporting or opposing candidates.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We face a deficit of trust,\" Obama said.\u003cbr/\u003eThe president devoted about two-thirds of his speech to the economic worries foremost on Americans'' minds, emphasising his ideas, some new but mostly old and explained anew, for restoring job growth, taming budget deficits and changing a polarised Washington.\u003cbr/\u003eThese concerns are at the roots of voter emotions that once drove supporters to Obama but now are turning on him as he governs.\u003cbr/\u003e \"We do not allow fear or division to break our spirit,\" said Obama. \"In this new decade, it''s time the American people get a government that matches their decency; that embodies their strength.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more
