For some of you the news continues. For others, check back with us a little bit later for the morning news and of course, cbs this morning. From the nations capital, im welcome to the overnight news im michelle miller. President obama went before joint session of congress to deliver the final state of the Union Address of his presidency. He didnt outline any bold new proposals, instead giving his upbeat assessment of his seven years in office and his hopes for the future. It was likely mr. Obamas final primetime opportunity to speak to the nation before the Party Primaries begin next month. It comes at a time when seven in ten americans say the country is headed in the wrong direction. Here is some of what the president had to say. That i have come here to report on the state of the union. And for this final one im going shorter. [ applause ] and i know some of you are antsy to get back to iowa. But for my final address to this chamber, i dont want to just talk about next year. I want to focus on the next five years, the next ten years, and beyond. Were in the middle of the longest streak of private sector job creation in history. [ applause ] more than 14 million new jobs, the strongest two years of job growth since the 1990s, an Unemployment Rate cut in half. Our Auto Industry just had its [ applause ] thats just part of a manufacturing surge that created nearly 900,000 new jobs in the past six years. And we have done all of this while cutting our deficits by almost 3 4. Any one claiming that americas economy is in decline is peddling fiction. I believe a thriving private sector is the lifeblood of our economy. I think there are outdated regulations that need to be changed. There is red tape that needs to be cut. But after years now of record families wont get more opportunity or bigger pay checks, just by letting big banks or big oil or hedge funds make their own rules and everybody elses expense. [ applause ] and middleclass families are not going to feel more secure because we allowed a tax on collective bargaining to go unanswered. Food stamp recipients did not cause the financial crisis. Recklessness on wall street did. Look, if anybody still wants to dispute the science around climate change. Have at it. You will be pretty lonely. Because you will be debating our military, most of americas business leaders, the majority of the american people, almost the entire scientific community, and 200 nations around the world intend to solve it. But, i told you earlier, all the talk of americas economic decline is, political hot air. Well so is all of the rhetoric you hear about our enemies getting stronger, and america getting weaker. I mean, let me tell you something. The United States of america is the most powerful nation on earth. Period. [ applause ] period its not even close. Its not even close. We spend more on our military than the next eight nations combined. Our troops are the finest fighting force in the history of the world. [ applause ] but as we focus on destroying isil, over the top claims that into their hands. Masses of fighters on the back of pickup trucks, twisted souls plotting in apartments or garages, they pose an enormous danger to civilians. They have to be stopped. But they do not threaten our national existence. The future we want, all of us want, opportunity and security for our families, a rising standard of living, a sustainable peaceful planet for our kids. All of that is within our reach. But it will only happen if we work together. It will only happen if we can have rational constructive debates. It will only happen if we fix our politics. The republican response was governor niki haley. Barack obamas election as president broke historic barriers and inspired millions of americans. As he did when he first ran for office, tonight, president obama spoke eloquently about grand things. He is at his best when he does that. Unfortunately, the president s record has often fallen far short of his soaring words. As he enters his final year in office, Many Americans are still feeling the squeeze of an levels. Were feeling a crushing national debt. A Health Care Plan that made insurance less affordable and doctors less available. And chaotic unrest in many of our cities. Even worse, we are facing the most dangerous terrorist threat our nation has seen since september 11th. And this president appears it. End, and america will have the direction. That direction is what i want to talk about tonight. At the outset, ill say this. You have paid attention to what has been happening in washington. And youre not naive. Neither am i. I see what you see. And many of your frustrations are my frustrations. A frustration with a government that has grown day after day, year after year, yet doesnt serve us any better. A frustration with the same endless conversations we hear over and over again. A frustration with promises made, and never kept. We need to be honest with each other and with ourselves. While democrats in washington bear much responsibility for the problems facing america today, they do not bear it alone. There is more than enough blame to go around. We need to recognize our contributions to the erosion of the public trust in americas leadership. We need to accept that we have played a role in how and why our government is broken.

The federal governments dietary guidelines have touched off a firestorm of controversy. The guidelines are updated about every five years. And critics say that gives Food Industry lobbyists plenty of time to sway the final results. Anna warner has the story. Reporter the new guidelines from usda and department of health and Human Services are to tell you what to eat. Critics say theyre muddled and confusing and not by accident. More fruit and vegetables. Less sugar. Limited saturated fat. The key dietary recommendations even a small shift can make a big difference. Reporter New York University professor of nutrition Maryann Nestle says there is something missing in the message. You say the junk Food Industry should kid the guidelines a win, why . Because there is no direct messaging in the dietary guidelines that says dont eat junk food, dont eat processed food, dont eat meat, dont drink sodas. Reporter dietary guidelines affect food labelling to National SchoolLunch Program that serves more than 30 million kids each day. But instead of simply saying dont drink soda, she points out, the guidelines say, less than 10 of calories should come from added sugars. And instead of saying eat less meat, they say, less than 10 of your diet should come from saturated fats. The Meat Industry does not want the American Government saying, eat less meat. That is unamerican. These are multibillion dollar amount of effort not just in advertising but in changing policy. Reporter the doctor is president of the Nonprofit Physicians Committee for responsible medicine which is suing the government. Claiming the egg industry used its influence to try to weaken warnings about cholesterol. The new guidelines dropped recommended limits but advise people to eat little as possible.

Parents and teachers shouted him off the stage at a pta meeting in 2013. You ended up canceling further meetings like that . We restructured them. That meeting got to a place where it wasnt productive. Folks were screaming, yelling. Reporter why were people screaming and yelling . Some of it was the politics of the moment. Some of it was misunderstandings that folks have. Reporter you know what the critics say, i dont need the federal government delivering standards in my state . Yeah, its important that folks realize that the standards are a matter of state policymaking. What we have said is that states need to have standards that push reporter at first, 46 states adopted common core standards. Three states have since dropped them. And 19 more have put them under review. King will half to continue the fight for uniform standards without overstepping the bounds of his federal role. You went from this school to becoming the first africanamerican education commissioner, the first puerto rican education commissioner of new york. What does that mean to you . I think it is a testament to what is possible if students have the right opportunities. Teachers could have looked at me and said, you know here is an african latino student, difficult family situation, what chance does he have . They could have given up on me. But they didnt. So, this is your old classroom . Wow. Reporter the teachers king called life saving taught here in brooklyn. My mom worked here and was a guidance counselor here. And then, my mom passed away when i was in 4th grade. And school took on a different role in my life. Reporter he was just 8 years old when heap lost his mother. 12 when he lost his father. Once the highest ranking africanamerican educator in the country and later suffered from undiagnosed alzheimers disease. I can recall one night he woke me up at like 2 00 clock in the morning.

And now 41 years old, will become one of the youngest cabinet secretaries in history. Is there a crisis in education in this country . It is hard to look at the fact that we have fall in from 1st and to 13th and not see a crisis. Good news i do think there are lots of signs asing prore. As the the country goes through the election every candidate should talk about what are they going to do to raise Graduation Rates and make sure more kids graduate from college. Raise your hand if you love school. King will be in office just over a year, a year that will be defined by a president ial race where the republican candidates have condemned common core. The term common core is so darn poisonous. The common core has to be ended it is a disaster. Imagine repealing every word of common core. Reporter he isnt exactly fazeed.

There is an effort to reclaim the unmentionable, the those things comes into being, composer, writing music and searching for notes and pieces of musical information that dont exist. Somebody asked me the dumbest question, my god it was hard to answer. They said why do you do what you do . I thought, boy that is, that is such an awful question to answer. That. I guess taking away all of the theatrics or costuming and all the kind of outer layers of what it is. I am a writer, what i do, i write. I started examining the subject matter that i write about. It boils down to a few songs. Based around, lonliness, to a certain extent. And a couple with isolation. And some kind of spiritual search. And, looking for a way into communicating with other people. Thats about it. Thats about all i have ever written about in 40 years. Lets do a harmony line on those the forever sections, yeah. I was never particularly fond of my voice. I never thought of myself as a singer, you know. And i thought that i wrote songs and music. And i thought what i was best at doing. And because nobody else is doing my songs. I felt i had to go out and do them. It is only over the last few years, that i actually felt more comfortable interpreting the songs myself and being a singer, you know . I dont mind doing, being that now. But for many years, i really wasnt comfortable with being a singer. I would have much preferred other people to have done my songs. Then i wouldnt have had to put all that makeup on. And that hair.

For some of you the news continues. For others, check back with us a little bit later for the morning news and of course, cbs this morning. From the nations capital, im welcome to the overnight news im michelle miller. President obama went before joint session of congress to deliver the final state of the Union Address of his presidency. He didnt outline any bold new proposals, instead giving his years in office and his hopes it was likely mr. Obamas final primetime opportunity to speak to the nation before the Party Primaries begin next month. It comes at a time when seven in ten americans say the country is headed in the wrong direction. President had to say. Tonight marks the eighth year that i have come here to report on the state of the union. And for this final one im going to try to make it a little shorter. [ applause ] and i know some of you are antsy to get back to iowa. But for my final address to this chamber, i dont want to just talk about next year. I want to focus on the next five years, the next ten years, and beyond. Were in the middle of the longest streak of private sector job creation in history. [ applause ] more than 14 million new jobs, the strongest two years of job growth since the 1990s, an our Auto Industry just had its best year ever. [ applause ] thats just part of a manufacturing surge that created nearly 900,000 new jobs in the past six years. And we have done all of this while cutting our deficits by almost 3 4. Any one claiming that americas economy is in decline is peddling fiction. I believe a thriving private sector is the lifeblood of our economy. I think there are outdated regulations that need to be changed. There is red tape that needs to but after years now of record corporate profits, working families wont get more opportunity or bigger pay checks, just by letting big banks or big oil or hedge funds make their own rules and everybody elses expense. [ applause ] and middleclass families are not going to feel more secure because we allowed a tax on collective bargaining to go unanswered. Food stamp recipients did not cause the financial crisis. Recklessness on wall street did. Look, if anybody still wants to dispute the science around climate change. Have at it. You will be pretty lonely. Because you will be debating our business leaders, the majority of the american people, almost the entire scientific community, and 200 nations around the world who agree it is a problem and intend to solve it. But, i told you earlier, all the talk of americas economic decline is, political hot air. Well so is all of the rhetoric you hear about our enemies getting stronger, and america getting weaker. I mean, let me tell you something. The United States of america is the most powerful nation on earth. Period. [ applause ] period its not even close. Its not even close. We spend more on our military than the next eight nations combined. Our troops are the finest fighting force in the history of the world. [ applause ] but as we focus on destroying this is world war iii, just play into their hands. Masses of fighters on the back of pickup trucks, twisted souls plotting in apartments or garages, they pose an enormous danger to civilians. They have to be stopped. But they do not threaten our national existence. The future we want, all of us want, opportunity and security for our families, a rising standard of living, a sustainable peaceful planet for our kids. All of that is within our reach. But it will only happen if we work together. It will only happen if we can have rational constructive debates. It will only happen if we fix our politics. The republican response was delivered by South CarolinaBarack Obamas election as president broke historic barriers and inspired millions of americans. Office, tonight, president obama spoke eloquently about grand things. He is at his best when he does that. Unfortunately, the president s record has often fallen far short of his soaring words. As he enters his final year in office, Many Americans are still feeling the squeeze of an economy too weak to raise income levels. Were feeling a crushing national debt. A Health Care Plan that made insurance less affordable and doctors less available. Our cities. Even worse, we are facing the our nation has seen since september 11th. And this president appears unwilling or unable to deal with it. Soon the Obama Presidency will end, and america will have the chance to turn in a new direction. That direction is what i want to talk about tonight. At the outset, ill say this. You have paid attention to what has been happening in washington. And youre not naive. Neither am i. I see what you see. And many of your frustrations are my frustrations. A frustration with a government that has grown day after day, year after year, yet doesnt serve us any better. A frustration with the same endless conversations we hear over and over again. A frustration with promises made, and never kept. We need to be honest with each other and with ourselves. While democrats in washington bear much responsibility for the problems facing america today, they do not bear it alone. There is more than enough blame to go around. We as republicans need to own we need to recognize our contributions to the erosion of the public trust in americas leadership. We need to accept that we have played a role in how and why our government is broken. The cbs overnight news will be right back. cell phone rings where are you .

There is an effort to reclaim the unmentionable, the unseeable, then speakable, all composer, writing music and searching for notes and pieces of musical information that dont exist. Somebody asked me the dumbest question, my god it was hard to answer. They said why do you do what you do . I thought, boy that is, that is such an awful question to i really had to think about that. I guess taking away all of the theatrics or costuming and all the kind of outer layers of what it is. I am a writer, what i do, i write. I started examining the subject matter that i write about. It boils down to a few songs. Based around, lonliness, to a certain extent. And a couple with isolation. And some kind of spiritual search. And, looking for a way into communicating with other people. Thats about it. Thats about all i have ever written about in 40 years. Lets do a harmony line on those the forever sections, yeah. I was never particularly fond of my voice. I never thought of myself as a singer, you know. And music. And i thought what i was best at doing. And because nobody else is doing my songs.
