What Does San Bruno Have to Say About the State of the Union Speech 2012?

President Barack Obama’s state of the union speech on Tuesday prompted a slew of reactions from politicians and pundits.

In his speech, Obama talked about strengthening American manufacturing, going after unfair trade practices overseas, doing away with tax cuts for the rich and expanding the country’s energy base—all in a tone to encourage congress members and all government leaders to support policies that would revive the United States as a country “built to last.”

As The Huffington Post reported, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, who delivered the Republican response to Obama’s speech, accused the president of pushing an extreme agenda that was “pro-poverty.”

Even former Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain got in the mix by delivering a rebuttal on behalf of the Tea Party, although it apparently wasn’t received with as much fanfare as the previous two speeches, The Huffington Pos reported.

If nothing else, the state of the union speech and ensuing debate were quite riveting, considering this is a presidential election year.

What are your thoughts on what Obama or anyone else said?
