Who among us would ask our children for a loan, so we could spend money we do not have on things we do not need? Democrats. #nsotu #sotu

The strength of America is not found in its government. It's found in the compassionate hearts of our citizens. #nsotu #sotu

Finally, someone who actually did some good people for the people after Katrina. #nsotu #sotu

Jindal; My father would tell me: "Bobby, Americans can do anything." I still believe that today. #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 7:26 PM
Alright, stay tuned for Gov. Jindal. It will be worth it. #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 7:10 PM
Don't quit. We never have before. We weren't planning on it now. #nsotu #sotu

No school is hopeless because no student is hopeless. #nsotu #sotu

Hold on. Bank CEOs can be generous? It's nice to finally hear a true story of generosity instead of feigned populism. #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 7:05 PM
Amen. We must take care of those who return home after taking care of us across the world. Thank you, veterans. #nsotu #sotu

Time until first mention of ongoing American conflicts around the world: 57 minutes. #nsotu #sotu

Funny how when we talk about wasteful spending, Republicans mean discretionary domestic spending. Democrats mean defense spending. #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:56 PM
How can you reduce the national debt when you are spending money faster than we can print it? #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:53 PM
Deficit you inherited? How about the one you just created? Ring a bell at all? #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:53 PM
"Responsibility for our children's education must begin at home." Well said. Let's hope for more than words on that. #nsotu #sotu

Bravo, Mr. President. Shout out to charter schools. Weak applause from Democrats. #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:51 PM
If the President really wanted to go for bipartisan boldness, he'd tout parental choice in education in front of this audience. #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:48 PM
Our kids aren't failing our schools. Our schools are failing our children. #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:47 PM
Alright, I think I am ready to hear from Gov. Jindal now. #nsotu #sotu

Republicans are for universal access to affordable health care but against universal government-run healthcare. #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:45 PM
Ever notice how Democrats love to use the phrase "we can't afford" right before they ask you to pay for something? #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:43 PM
This is America. We don't what's easy. We do what I say. #nsotu #sotu

Government stumbled onto good ideas already in existence and found a way to claim credit. #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:38 PM
Bold action and big ideas don't usually come from politicians and bureacrats. They come from the people, the innovaters. #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:37 PM
The President knows the issues we need to tackle. We just have different philosophies on how to solve them. #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:36 PM
Wrong when Bush did it and Obama was campaigning. Now when it's his mess to clean up, Obama ready to give the banks money. #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:34 PM
"Bank bailouts are cool now because I'm doing it." Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:33 PM
The daily "sky is falling" rhetoric isn't doing much for consumer confidence. Mix in a glass half full statement now and then. #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:30 PM
Small businesses can't be started, jobs can't be created without banks lending. Hope new loans can help them create good jobs. #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:29 PM
I am happy about recovery.gov as a tool for accountability. I just hope the real truth is seen there with real transparency. #nsotu #sotu

Oversight effort will be substantial. Rest assured, we'll be watching in NC. #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:26 PM
How can the President possibly know what jobs the private sector will create? Isn't that the difference between public/private?#nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:24 PM
"I don't believe in bigger government" I think some Democrats just said HUH?!?#nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:24 PM
Grow the economy, not the government. #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:22 PM
Talking about the challenges most of the folks in the room haven't solved. Hold on. Wasn't Obama in Congress to fix those problems too? #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:21 PM
Strength lies with people, entreprenuers, families. Notice he didn't mention bureacrats or politicians. #nsotu #sotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:20 PM
We will emerge stronger than before. I agree. I'd clap too. But how do we get there? #sotu #nsotu
Posted by Brent Woodcox at 6:19 PM
Here comes Debbie Downer, the commander in chief. #nsotu #sotu
