side jumping up to applaud when ever they can, and the other side was sitting on their hands. and the president's speech was far less of a laundry list of accomplishments and goals, and more of a framework. the president began by acknowledging the empty chair of arizona congresswoman gabrielle giffords and called on congress to put aside the noise and ranker of partisan politics. >> what comes of this moment is up to us. what comes of this moment will be determined not by whether we can sit together tonight, but whether we can work together tomorrow. >> the theme of the speech, winning the future. >> this is our generation's sputnik moment. >> the president said the country must invest in biomedical research and information technology and in clean energy. >> and to help pay for it, i am asking congress to eliminate the billions in taxpayer dollars we currently give to oil companies.

doing just fine on their own. >> he also called for investments in education, and not just in dollars. >> we need to teach our kids that it is not just the winner of the super bowl who needs to be celebrated, but it is the winner of the science fair. >> and the third step, investing in the nation's infrastructure jie. we will put more americans to work and repair crumbling roads and bridges. >> he advocated simplifying the tax code and closing loopholes and lowering the corporate income tax rate for the the first time in 25 years. >> it can be done. >> the president promised he will work with republicans on immigration reform and on cutting redundant regulations and government departments, and even revisiting healthcare reform as long as the changes make for better care and more afford ability. >> instead of refighting the battles the last two years, let's fix what needs fixing and let's move forward. >> moving forward without taking a particular position left republicans with very little to push against. >> americans are skeptical on both political parties, and

that skepticism is justified especially when it comes to spending. >> at the university of san francisco the politics professor cory cook watched the president's speech with his students. >> i think he laid out a vision for the governor over the next year or two, and it is fairly clear his strategy will be try to govern as a moderate and find common ground. >> the president said the economy is coming around, and in the past year unemployment has fallen by half a percent. the dow is up 17%, but the deficit is also up $1.7 trillion and home prices are down. the tea party's response to the president's speech delivered by republican michelle batman. >> we have high unemployment, de will haved housing prices andthe cost of gasoline is sky rocketing. >> her response in stark contrast to the president's tone, but was muted a little when she showed up late to the stewedy yo. she blamed the president saying she was caught in traffic behind his motorcade.

talking after the speech, both bay area lawmakers were struck by the feeling in the house, a mood they described as serious and more bipartisan and the president's speech very much in kind. >> it certainly did have a different feel tonight, no question about it. you may have noticed people wearing black and white lapel ribbons. it is to honor the victims of the assassination attempt on gabrielle giffords in tucson. giffords released this photo of her husband holding her hand as they watched the president's speech. the doctor upgraded her condition from serious to good. she will be moved to a rehabilitation hospital tomorrow. tonight the white house is continuing to push the message of president obama's state of the union via social networking. the white house hosted an open for questions event right after the president's speech. aides answered questions submitted through twitter and facebook. this thursday the president will answer questions directly

"did you see homelessen camp ment's, vagrants or suspicious people walking around? " they knew the person didn't belong here. >> reporter: the suspect was shot on the property of ardel johnson. they say a neighbor chased him to the house. a neighbor knocked on the door and said johnson stole something from his home and he asked johnson for his address so he could tell police where to go. he told johnson the suspect was armed with a knife, and when police and santa clara deputies arrived, they chased the suspected it burglar into a ravine where johnson says they shot and killed him. >> and rescue workers had to come in and pull the body out of that steep ravine later this evening. there are still many unanswered questions including the suspect's name and what exactly if he did steel from

that neighbor. we hope to find out more tomorrow. reporting live in santa clara county, alan wang, abc7 news. >> thank you. authorities have not been able to remove a body from a stolen car that crashed into a power pole this afternoon. the crash knocked down live power lines, so police have to wait for pg&e crews bever -- before they can get the body out. he was trying to escape from police in a stolen ford truck. one of two vehicles stolen in the last 24 hours, apparently. the driver of the second stolen car ditched it in lafayette and got away. toyota is issuing a huge global recall. that story is ahead. >> and he is known as spider dan. tonight why this san francisco sky scraper climber says he didn't really get his day in court. >> also, why this man's beard is keeping him from getting a job with the state. >> and the push to give san francisco nannies prefered
