The State of the Union is arguably the most important night in a president’s year. It’s when they can speak out against all the critics, lay out future goals, and inject the American people with a bit of hope. After a year full of turmoil, President Obama had his work cut out for him for the 2014 State of the Union Address on Jan. 28. But he gave a rousing speech that had stars like Katie Couric and Mia Farrow on his side.
Obama has always been quite popular with the stars, and he had full support during the State of the Union. Here’s what some celebs had to say:
Give America a Raise. #SOTU

This State of the Union versus the last: more general, more “American dream” rhetoric, less bold policy specifics.

Though not everyone was on Obama’s side. Anti-tax crusader and political advocate Grover Norquist chimed in on Twitter in opposition:
Obama said he was going to do a bunch of things now that he never did in 2009 or 2010, 730 days when he had a D house and senate.

Obama gave a whole speech without ever apologizing to those Americans he lied to about keeping their doctor/health care.
