Speak Out: State of the Union 2013

What did you think of the president speech and the Republican and tea party responses? Which goals do you support? Which ideas should be abandoned.

President Barack Obama delivered the 2013 State of the Union speech to the U.S. Congress tonight, followed by rebuttals from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) on behalf of the Republican Party and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) for the Tea Party caucus.

What did you think? Was the president on point? Did he touch on issues important to you? Or omit any? What issues are most important to you?

Did Rubio make more sense? Or Paul? What did you think of there being two conservative rebuttals? Did you listen to both?
