Regardless of how you feel about President Obama's State of the Union address, it did little to end partisanship in Washington. Below are a few Twitter reactions from politicians to the president's speech:
@BarackObama #SOTU pointed way to an economy that works for all. Now we need to step up & deliver for the middle class. #FairShot #FairShare

True to form, the President in his State of the Union speech is more interested in politics than in leadership #sotu https://t.co/DTKQVy03Ck

Also, a big moment to hear "open Internet" in a #SOTU. The @FCC must act to preserve the freedom to compete online. #NetNeutrality

I am committed to defeating #ISIS & wish I was as confident in the Administration's strategy. #SOTU

On critical nat'l security issues, Pres Obama’s speech was unfortunate demonstration of how strategically listless Admin now is #SOTU2015

Middle class economics? Wonder if you'll learn about that in free community college? #sotu

Great speech, Mr. President. Looking forward to working with the @WhiteHouse to build an economy that works for all our families. #SOTU

At 45.3 million, the number of Americans living in poverty is almost at a record high. #SOTU

Based on POTUS speech, I believe there's opportunity for bipartisan cooperation on strengthening our transportation infrastructure.

Agreed! We must build an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few. // POTUS: "Middle-class economics works." #SOTU

The President wants to grow the economy in Washington. We want to grow the economy in cities and towns and villages all across America.
