President Roosevelt: I address you, the members of this new Congress,
at a moment unprecedented in the history of the union.
President Kennedy: I believe that this nation should commit itself
to achieving the goal, before this decade is out,
of landing a man on the moon
and returning him safely to the earth.
President Johnson: And this administration today, here and now,
declares unconditional war on poverty in America.
President Carter: The United States will not yield to blackmail.
President Bush: Communism died this year.
President Obama: That day of reckoning has arrived,
and the time to take charge of our future is here.
Now is the time to not only revive this economy
but to build a new foundation for lasting prosperity.
Mr. McDonough: The State of the Union is not just
a conversation with Congress,
but a conversation with you, the American people.
It is a unique opportunity for the President to report
on what we have achieved together in the past year
and to provide his leadership and vision
for the direction our country should take in the next.
It is an important moment when the policy that influences
the fabric of the American experiment is shaped.
The President has been hard at work
on the 2014 State of the Union,
and when the President addresses the nation,
the White House will provide you something online
that you can't find elsewhere:
an enhanced version of the speech that offers charts,
graphics, and data that further explain the decisions
that shape the policies and issues
in the President's remarks.
You can watch the speech at WhiteHouse.gov on any device,
but the speech is just the beginning.
This year, there are more ways than ever
to take part in the State of the Union.
During the speech,
you can be part of that conversation on Twitter,
and you will have the opportunity to share
exclusive graphics from the enhanced broadcast
with your social networks.
Immediately after the address, you will have the opportunity
to discuss the President's remarks and ask your questions
with a panel of policy experts and advisers.
Throughout the week, administration officials will
continue to take your questions on key issue areas addressed
in the President's remarks.
So tune in Tuesday night to be a part
of the President's State of the Union enhanced broadcast
and get involved with the important issues
facing our nation.
