"The time to take charge of our future is here," Obama said, delivering his first address to a joint session of Congress just five weeks into his presidency. Along with his warnings, he had reassuring words.
"Tonight I want every American to know this: We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before."
