State of the Union Address? Didn't see it. But Senator Mike Lee's response is getting some buzz, and for good reason. He made some good points, and if only he could reach enough voters the country might experience something positive instead of the sorry state of affairs President Obama has caused.
Here's the youtube link for the speech. There are some excerpts at Mike Lee's site. And be sure to check out Patrick Howley's Six reasons why Mike Lee’s tea party response to the State of the Union was amazing.

You're probably as frustrated as I am about an ever growing government that somehow thinks it's OK to lie to, spy on, and even target its own citizens.

To be fair, President Obama and his party did not create all of these problems. The Republican establishment in Washington can be just as out of touch as the Democratic establishment. ...
After all, if we're going to reform welfare, we really should start with corporate welfare.
