"After a year of exploding deficits, proposals to raise taxes, and more than 10% unemployment, 70 minutes of false promises can't fix our economy."
Senator John Cornyn
NRSC Chairman
"Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell's brief but eloquent response effectively answered the President's rambling and condescending speech with a single sentence: "Today, the federal government is simply trying to do too much.""

Democratic Representatives have seen that Barack Obama could not save Martha Coakley from angry voters. They know that, in November, they will be answering not to President Obama but to the people of the United States. As each week passes, the influence that the President wields with Congress will wane while our power grows. That is why your continued messages to Congress are so important.
"Not only was Obama as narcissistic as ever, the speech was nothing like some pundits were predicting. Having faced stunning gubernatorial losses in Virginia and New Jersey and then the historical Scott Brown Senate victory in Massachusetts, those "in the know" speculated that Obama would move toward the middle. Wrong! The speech was the same old socialist rhetoric topped with a direct confrontation with members of the Supreme Court. There was no class at all... but should I have expected anything else?

"After reflection on Barack Obama's State of the Union address, I am left with one overarching conclusion: while boring, preachy, dull, overly serious, then flipping to overly jocular tones while trying to balance pandering to the middle class with holding his base - Barack Obama's State of the Union address was a declaration of war on the free market."

"Overall the speech was full of statements meant to inspire yet they were flat, he was lecturing, talking down to the republicans, all the while acting out the part of the candidate Obama on the campaign trail who deeply cares about the American people and the Constitution. He seemed sarcastic and unprofessional in his rhetoric. Certainly not the type of address we have come to expect form a President of the United States."
