Setting a vision for America's future, the president -- in what was his shortest speech in two terms -- put policy aside to focus on the gains America has made in the economy, health care, and education in the past seven years.
Needless to say, a serious night turned hilarious in just seconds thanks to Twitter.
Before the State of the Union Address, I knew that <strong>President Barack Obama</strong> was going to give a great speech, as he always does. I knew he would remind us that he has become the black male <strong>Oprah Winfrey</strong>: The person of color that everyone seems to love.
<strong>Chris Matthews</strong> is definitely going to take some heat for exclaiming that he "forgot Obama was black tonight for an hour... I said wait a minute, he's an African American guy in front of a bunch of other white people."
