State of the Union live-tweet

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

I normally don’t have much to say about politics, and today is no different, but I did live-tweet tonight’s State of the Union address (or at least the parts of it for which citizentube’s stream didn’t stall out), so I thought I’d preserve those tweets here for the heck of it. Please to enjoy.

Tuned in just in time to hear “…the President of the United States!” Watching on citizentube. #sotu

Oooh, Supreme Court justices! *fangirl moment* #sotu

What, the little Obamas don’t get to come this year? J.Crew must be so disappointed. #sotu

Ahahahaha, Biden and Pelosi are all matchy-matchy with the lavender and white. Think they called each other last night? #sotu

Hey Nancy, what are you wearing tonight? Oh, probably my lavender suit, Joe, why? Uh, no reason. #sotu

Dude, Obama is live-tweeting his own State of the Union address. Like I always say, vote for the guy who knows magic. #sotu

Does the policewoman sitting next to Michelle Obama have a cane hanging on her wrist? #sotu

Citizentube’s broadcast keeps stopping and starting, sometimes cutting out altogether. Boo. #sotu

How come 5/10 trending topics worldwide are about the SOTU, but when I switch to US, the top 3 are itampon, ipad, and nowthatsghetto? #sotu

The Houston trending topics have no reference to the SOTU at all, even when I refresh the page. Really? #sotu #trendingtopics

Yeah, repeal don’t-ask-don’t-tell! #sotu

“Let’s try common sense!” *silence* #sotu

Do the people of Haiti really chant “USA! USA! USA!” when the Red Cross or whoever pulls someone out of the rubble? #sotu

Wow, surprisingly low production values on the White House staffer panel for citizentube. These kids need a stylist, at least. #sotu

I’m still half-listening to the citizentube post-SotU question-and-answer session, and I have to say that the folks they picked are pretty good on camera and certainly knowledgeable. I guess first impressions aren’t everything. They do look super-young, though—does the White House fire people when they hit 30?
