State of Union address: 2012 Obama speech outlines the American dream, the re-election of strategy:     
In his last State of the Union address before the 2012 election, President Obama urged Congress to work together to rebuild the coveted American dream.

Our 44th President, promised in a memorable phrase, "no bail-out, no hand-outs, no cop outs" for financial institutions that helped derail the American economy.

Obama spoke of the "fair" tax reform with a thinly veiled reference to phrases Republicans presidential candidates have used against him repeatedly in debates.

"You can call this ' class war ' all you want," he said, calling it pure equity. Without doubt, the State of the Union address 2012 was a campaign speech:

He said that Americans must get past personal ambition and partisan obsession "focus on the mission at hand" and keep alive the dream of restoring the economy.

"No challenge is more urgent. No discussion is more important, "he said.

"We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people doing really well, while a growing number barely get. Or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share and all games by the same rules. "

"We want to keep tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans? Or want to invest in all the rest? Not if we're seriously paying down our debt, we can do both. "

Refutations were quickly and predictably by political opponents.

Indiana gov. Mitch Daniels, who delivered the GOP "official" response, said that strict adherence to the ideology was President stifle innovation:

"Extremism that stifles the development of homegrown energy or cancel a perfectly safe pipeline that employs tens of thousands, or Jack up consumer bills for any improvement in human health or global temperature, is a political pro-poverty".

"We cannot accept that we will always be a nation of haves and have-nots; We must always be a nation of haves and soon-to-haves, "said Daniels.

On Fox News, Sean Hannity interviewed GOP candidate Mitt Romney, who argues that, based on this night, the President is "disconnected from reality."

The highest point in the evening's bipartisan occurred shortly before the speech, like Obama, in making its way to the podium, paused to hug Gabrielle Giffords Rep.

Giffords is resigning from Congress this week to recover from his brain injury. A chant of "Gabby, Gabby, Gabby" could be heard throughout the House flo
