2. He is GLOWING! Joe looks great, too!

.
There's really a significant number of good things to report tonight, isn't there?

[RavensChick]

3. Yep!

Let's enjoy it now because the repukes are gonna speak afterwards.

5. Boehner and his thugs did nothing but resist EVERY SINGLE POSITIVE ITEM!

I don't know what they're going to be able to say, but they're never at a loss for words.

All the good things, they tried to kill:

Job growth
Health insurance
Better fuel economy
and more...

6. True,

8. Oh my

the rebuttal is tanking in that live graph!

9. Has anyone given Joni Ernst a Turing Test? #SOTU

Good one, twitterverse!

[elleng]

10. Didn't watch it.

[2naSalit]

11. I watched the graph

at MSNBC where people where responding to the rebuttal, live. Was interesting. I couldn't stomach watch her, I'll catch it in snippets over the next few days with commentary. I found these things to be a bit more palatable in small does with sauce.

[elleng]

12. Would have been interesting;

sorry I missed that part!

[2naSalit]

13. It refreshed every 3 seconds

I wonder if there's a capture of it someplace. I'll have to look around.

[arthritisR_US]

14. I did too! nt

[BlancheSplanchnik]

15. yes, to see a world leader who actually sees women as human beings...

It's so rare!

Bout time! Thank you, President Obama! The Best!

[elleng]

16. He has similarly embraced her every year.

17. I'll never forget his first act as President--

End the Global Gag rule.

Most don't seem to think that's worth remembering--I never see that in lists of his accomplishments (certainly never in lists compiled by men), but I will never forget, especially since at that time, women's lives were merely political "special interests" that ALWAYS took a back seat to everything else.
