State of the Union 2013

President Barack Obama delivered his fourth State of the Union address Tuesday night, laying out the policy to put in place the sweeping vision he outlined at his inauguration.

  1. The president spent most of the day polishing off tonight's speech.

  3. The GOP and other Obama opponents made it clear early on they weren't going to like what they heard.

    Tonight Obama will claim his policies haven't added "a single dime" to the debt- they've added 58.6 trillion dimes #ASingleDime #SOTU

    Rubio to respond to SOTU address in 2 languages. Obama will deliver it in only one language, but speak out of both sides of his mouth.

    We have $46 trillion in fed spending from Obama's FY13 Budget through 2022. That's not "responsible" or "balanced" #sotUGottaBKiddingMe

    From 2009 to 2013, 8.5 million people have lost their job and gas prices have gone up by $1.71. How will POTUS address this tonight? #SOTU

    Tonight's State of the Union should be dedicated to Adam Yauch, who urged us all to fight for the right two party system. #SOTU

    Ted Nugent attends State of the Union as Rep. Stockman's plus one. He gets 2 drink tickets but he has to kill his own food.

    Instead of coming to DC wouldn't it be more heroic if Ted Nugent went out to Big Bear....

    What I have learned from the #sotu so far: Americans can clap for a really, REALLY long time.
