As the world tuned in to the President’s final State of the Union address, policy wonks and advocates parsed Obama’s words to see what he did (or did not) say about their specific cause. As usual, it provided a great opportunity for Obama’s friends to commit to supporting him as his presidency winds down, and gave his foes plenty to critique. Here’s a roundup of what they had to say:

David McIntosh, President of the Club for Growth:

“Here’s the Obama legacy that was ignored tonight: A near-doubling of the national debt, a mountain of new federal rules and regulations piled atop the private sector, skyrocketing healthcare costs, and a busting of even the most nominal caps on federal spending. None of these improve the future for American taxpayers.”
