Bob Ney: I've sat through many States of the Union, and this one covered the bases. I thought the ending was dynamic. Pres. Biden probably got more bipartisan applause AND a standing ovation than has been done in the past.

Bob Ney: Pres. Biden was up front about funding the police, incl. education, reform, & training.
Rick: If Rep. Tlaib talks about defunding the police in her response, I'm donating to her opponent.

Bob Ney: Pres. Biden talked about COVID, about vaccinating the world & about vaccines for younger kids.

Bob Ney: This was one of the best State of the Union addresses I've seen.
Rick: He hit on all the major themes I wanted to see. He pushed the positive tone at the end, which, to me, is the punchline.

Bob Ney: I know the President maybe didn't have a 100% on delivery but he was good. His speech was well put together & very balanced.
Rick: He hit the concerns of Main Street America, incl. child care, Rx drug prices.

Bob Ney: If Pres. Biden can stick with this agenda, I think he'll improve his numbers.

Bob Ney: My expectations were not super high, nor were they super low. This went way above what my expectations were.

Bob Ney: Yes, Pres. Biden had the slip ["Iranians" instead of "Ukrainians"] but every president has made a slip at one time or another.

Bob Ney: I don't know what was called out about Pres. Biden's son, Beau. I'm sure it'll come out in the next days.
Rick: Pres. Biden empathized with families who've lost family members.

Rick: What's the final messaging?
Bob Ney: America cares about its working people & wants to make fairness in society. We're back, & we're back to make people's lives better.
