After live-tweeting the President’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night, we took a look at our retweet stats to get an (unscientific) sense of the parts Twitter liked most.
Here are the top moments of the speech, as decided by our Twitter followers:
If you missed the president’s State of the Union last night, here’s what we’re internally referring to as “the kick-ass section.” Watch the rest of the speech and get an overview of the key points here.
“No one built this country on their own. This nation is great because we built it together. This nation is great because we worked as a team. This nation is great because we get each other’s backs. And if we hold fast to that truth, in this moment of trial, there is no challenge too great; no mission too hard. As long as we are joined in common purpose, as long as we maintain our common resolve, our journey moves forward, and our future is hopeful, and the state of our Union will always be strong.”
—President Obama in tonight’s State of the Union address. What did you think of the speech?
Because we live in the future, the White House is doing a fancy enhanced live feed of the State of the Union tonight and we’re able to embed it here so you can watch it directly on Tumblr. Enjoy, and let us know what you think of the president’s speech.
We’ll be feeding Instagram photos from State of the Union house parties around the country and tweets from the proceedings on BarackObama.com for the next little while.
If you’re feeling the SOTU fever (and if you’re not, why not?), come on by. Live feed for the speech starts at 9 p.m. ET.
The President “shall from time to time give to the Congress Information on the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.”
The President’s State of the Union address is only a couple weeks away. Don’t just watch alone with your dog—host a watch party to bring new people into the campaign where you live.
