Flattest SOTU he’s done. The applause is late, the laughs are forced. And he’s not changing minds. I expected something different.

Good lord. Choice is between isolationism or "nation-building everywhere there is a problem." Godzilla strawman, attack!

With all due respect Mr. President, the genocide against Christians in the Middle East is not simply the "Middle East in transition". #SOTU

POTUS: “… I will keep working to shut down the prison at Guantanamo.” #SOTU
— Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) January 13, 2016
I just heard “Guantanamo,” and what’s funny is that in 2008 he promised to close it very soon and who’s he waiting on?
— Mollie (@MZHemingway) January 13, 2016
No mention of San Bernardino. I'm just dismayed that everyone seems to have just forgotten about that terrorist attack.
