Watch it online or on TV. Talk about it here. 6:31 PM PT: Now we're entering the portion of the speech where the president will outline the types of investments he wants to see Congress make to create jobs.
6:31 PM PT: As I said earlier, the president has definitely got his swagger back. Great to see.
6:33 PM PT:
Is it me or is this not one of POTUS's better efforts? Lackluster response from even Dem's side. #SOTU— @KarlRove via HootSuite Yes, Karl. It's just you, you nitwit.
6:34 PM PT: How it's playing in one Ohio TV station's Twitter feed:
President Obama presses for jobs without raising deficit during State of the Union http://t.co/... #sotu— @WEWSpolitics via HootSuite
6:35 PM PT: Woooo! Climate change is a topic in the SOTU.
6:36 PM PT: John McCain probably isn't happy to be reminded that he once believed in climate change.
6:38 PM PT:
Republicans, if honest, should like this speech more than Obama's inaugural. It is not an overtly partisan or combative speech.— @NKingofDC via web Well, yeah, but that's a big if. Plus, they hate speeches that are firmly grounded in reality and a coherent world view, which is exactly what this speech is.
6:39 PM PT: Haha, even Boehner laughed at this: "I know that you want these job-creating projects in your districts. I've seen you all at the ribbon-cuttings."
6:42 PM PT: Re: Medicare:
Senior admin official tells me Obama didn't endorse means testing; that was a reference to meaures in his budget #SOTU— @ThePlumLineGS via TweetDeck
6:43 PM PT: Pre-school for every child: "That's something we should be able to do."
6:44 PM PT: The thing I like most about this speech'even in the parts where I don't fully agree with the president'is that this is a speech about what he believes we must do to become a better, stronger nation. This isn't a speech about what he thinks he needs to do to maneuver around Congress. He's not trying to navigate the possible, he's trying to expand the universe of what's possible.
6:46 PM PT (Kaili Joy Gray): New thread here.
