I'd note that the Republican response, while delivered well, was rendered pretty much moot by Obama's address.
Glad to see the call to get rid of don't ask don't tell.

Spence - he's been mocking them for over a year. Whats it got him? Nothing. Believe it or not, Americans actually have a clue and are getting tired of his finger pointing. He has done more to polarize and divide than any president I can recall. This was a state of the union address, not a political rally.The non-partisian reality is that the majority of people are against his policies. Look at the polls.
Bryan - the supreme court decision specifically said that the decision did not include a ruling of foreign companies. Obama emphaiszed that it is allowed - very simply put -
he lied. As Alitio mouthed - NOT TRUE. A fact is a fact and their is no opinion. Once again for someone who is supposed to be intelligent, he made enemies in a group of people who are there for life. Why? Whats to gain? When Obama is writing a book on his presidency and doing the college circuit, Alito will still be in his seat. The supreme court has the final say. Suprised a constituional law professor couldnt see there was no benefit in his making those statements in that forum.
