ANN COULTER — I missed the middle section of Obama's State of the Union address when I took a break to read "War and Peace," but I gather he never got around to what I was hoping he'd say, which is: "What was I thinking?"

JANICE SHAW CROUSE — President Obama's State of the Union address was his best opportunity since his midterm "shellacking" to seriously address the debt and deficit issues that threaten America's economic stability now and far into our grandchildren's future.

STANLEY KURTZ — I never expected Obama to genuinely shift to the center, but I did expect a more significant feint in that direction than we've seen tonight. Sure, the president's used patriotic language to justify his spending plans. He's even made non-committal remarks about being willing to look at medical malpractice reform and such... (more)

Herman Cain is a great conservative and has been one of America's most underappreciated voices of free markets, personal responsibility and sound solutions to the problems created by big government...

RICH LOWRY — Pres. Barack Obama hopes to be saved by a euphemism. He is wagering on the power of the word "investment." It sounds so market-oriented and cutting-edge in contrast to its more pedestrian, politically fraught synonym, "spending," especially the toxic "deficit spending" that, to this point, has defined Obama's presidency...
