CNN's Erick Erickson on President Obama's State of the Union address:

The speech is not playing well really anywhere. Leftwing sites don't like it. Rightwing sites don't like it. And largely even the media is admitting the speech fell flat.

Huffington Post's Mark Blumenthal, on the same speech:

The results of the instant snap polls by CBS News,CNN/ORC and the Democratic pollsters atDemocracy Corps all show overwhelmingly positive responses to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address from Tuesday night.

I don't really care whether Erickson liked the speech, and I'm not surprised that he didn't. After all, there wasn't much talk of Erickson priorities like beating government officials to a "bloody pulp" and "mass bloodshed." But I do care about the lying. As usual, the overwhelming majority of State of the Union viewers responded positively to the speech.
