President Obama Delivers State of the Union Address
President Obama delivered his final State of the Union address Tuesday night.
FOX’s Jon Decker and Jared Halpern report from Capitol Hill:
The President said protecting the American people and going after terrorist networks is his number one priority. But he refused to call the fight against ISIS a fight against radical Islam.
(President Obama) “We just need to call them what they are – killers and fanatics who have to be rooted out, hunted down and destroyed.”
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley who gave the Republican response called out the President for his inability to defeat ISIS.
(Haley) “We are facing the most dangerous terrorist threat our nation has seen since September 11th, and this President appears unwilling or unable to deal with it.”
Haley also alluded to GOP Presidential front-runner Donald Trump in her speech, saying that Republicans must resist the temptation to follow what she called “the siren call of the angriest voices”.
