Obama going all Elizabeth Warren in SOTU: "But for far too long, lobbyists have rigged the tax code with loopholes"

— Adam Smith (@asmith83) January 21, 2015

The economic portion of this speech is as close as Obama has come in 10 yrs to his terrific Sen campaign stump speech in 2004.

Why didn’t he propose these things when Dems controlled Congress?

— Doug Henwood (@DougHenwood) January 21, 2015

President skipping lightly past all his tax increase ideas.

O: "That’s why I am sending this Congress a bold new plan to lower the cost of community college — to zero."

— Garance Franke-Ruta (@thegarance) January 21, 2015

Absolutely zero GOP applause for the community college/student loan section. #SOTU2015

— David Weigel (@daveweigel) January 21, 2015

If you tell community colleges that students will lose 100% of their grant if their grades drop, what happens to college grading?

— David Frum (@davidfrum) January 21, 2015

Obama is having so much fun in this speech.

— Garance Franke-Ruta (@thegarance) January 21, 2015

Does Boener have to look like he's getting a colonoscopy everytime Obama says something good about America? I thought Repubs loved America?

Our combat mission in Afghanistan is not over if 15K troops are still in Afghanistan. #SOTU2015

What Obama says tonight about new #Iran sanctions is crystal clear: A vote for sanctions is a vote for war. #SOTU #SOTU2015 @rezaaslan

— Trita Parsi (@tparsi) January 21, 2015

I support the president’s call to refrain from new Iran sanctions. We have a responsibility to see the talks through. http://t.co/vJXVGKlGIG

Love this: the president calls out the GOP's "I'm not a scientist" bullshit on climate change. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/4ZfPNjbxJh

— Dan Savage (@fakedansavage) January 21, 2015

Obama: Obviously climate change is a hoax being pulled off by the world's scientists and their closest ally, The Pope.

In #SOTU, Obama Declares Marriage Equality A “Civil Right” – http://t.co/APw3LY6r4k pic.twitter.com/xp2z0tqVwm

— Chris “Law Dork” Geidner (@chrisgeidner) January 21, 2015

Marriage equality has progressed from a wedge issue that drove us apart to a story of freedom, legal in states that 7/10 Americans call home

— Valerie Jarrett (@vj44) January 21, 2015

Gay marriage is still a wedge issue—only it divides Republicans now, not Democrats. #SOTU

— Dan Savage (@fakedansavage) January 21, 2015

this is classic Obama. surely we can agree that i'm more reasonable than you

— Peter Beinart (@PeterBeinart) January 21, 2015

The “one people” Obama is the best Obama.

— David Frum (@davidfrum) January 21, 2015

Obama: I have no more campaigns to run — unlike Mitt Romney and every spare Bush.

— L O L G O P (@LOLGOP) January 21, 2015

Obama, after GOP clapped when he said he has no more elections to run: "I know cause I won both of them." DAMMMMMMMMMM LOLOLOLOLOL #SOTU

— Gabe Ortíz (@TUSK81) January 21, 2015

WOAH. GOP GOT OWNED.

that ‘campaign’ joke was solid, but kind of a letdown when you read the original line #SOTU pic.twitter.com/nOdQWKA2oG

brief, satisfying digression from reasonable, post-partisan Obama back to in-your-face, victory lap Obama

REPORT: The Romney family is skipping the State of the Union to watch Mitt on Netflix for the 34th time.

President Obama: I kid Mitt Romney but he's done a lot to help poor people. For instance, he lost in 2012.

— L O L G O P (@LOLGOP) January 21, 2015

FYI: Mitt Romney has lived on the Minimum Wage, which is the name of his smaller yacht.

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) is delivering the GOP response. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/CiOFXD6SJa

Wait—Joni Ernst is on my TV? But didn't the president say he prohibited torture? #SOTU

— Dan Savage (@fakedansavage) January 21, 2015

If it were up to Obama, the Ernsts would have paid 5 cents for each of those plastic bags on her shoes, A DAY.

This is the 6th GOP #SOTU response in a row featuring a Republican who speaks to us like they're addressing a room full of kindergartners.
