The President will work with Congress and act on his own, to ensure that every American can get ahead.Here’s what top pundits, reporters and a few Republicans are saying about the President’s State of the Union:@KellyO: Ok that was the loudest standing O and gallery guests were on their feet too. Doesn’t happen often. Women’s equal pay.@freedlander: very smart framing on UI–taxpayers who are now not getting the benefits they deserve@DanaPerino: I agree with the president about the infrastructure investments. We really need to get on the stick. #foxnewschat@chucktodd: Nearly half of tea party supporters were in favor of the $10.10 min. wage increase in our last NBC/WSJ poll #SOTU@HuntsmanAbby: Support for voting reform should be bipartisan. No reason both parties shouldn’t be clapping.@SaraMurray: Here’s a catchy takeaway from Obama’s #SOTU: “Give America a raise”@alexis_levinson: The cheer for Obamacare was explosive. Loudest one yet. Rosa DeLauro threw her arms in the air for a second in excitement #SOTU@jmartNYT: There’s the big Dem mid-term campaign pitch: “say yes, give America a raise!” to $10.10 an hour.@OKnox: I don’t think I have seen a standing ovation that long, that sustained, that bipartisan, in about 14 years of covering #SOTU.@igorbobic: New Gingrich calls it a “very good speech”@CharlesMBlow: Obama relaxing, joking, taking more directly to America. Better tone. Where he’s most effective… #SOTU@BresPolitico: Obama is very crisp/sharp in his delivery. He’s always good in these settings.
