How would you rate Obama's speech? #tellusatoday

Comments from Twitter, edited for clarity and grammar:

How would I rate Obama's speech? C for average. Not terrible, but not phenomenal. He laid out the issues in a list-like format.

— @NicoleSGlass

A+. Direct, not derogatory toward anyone, and he hit every point nearly equally.

— @tqdragon

F. Everything he said was hypocritical in regard to how he has acted over the last four years.

— @trident90

His speech was to the point and hit on all the big issues that Americans worry about. He showed strength and resolve. He will fight for those who can't.

Is raising the minimum wage to $9 an hour enough for realistic change? It's enough to ensure fewer Americans will have jobs.

— @flsku

I agree with Obama. Without background checks, how else do we keep guns out of the hands of criminals?

— @jwb1957

Criminals are not going to obtain guns legally in the first place! It will be an unnecessary burden to law-abiding citizens.

The sequester is a bad idea. It was never meant to be a budget strategy. It would cost Tennessee 39,000 jobs.
