Some more reactions from Statuary Hall
Rep. David Wu, D-Ore., On Iraq:
"What really struck me is how alone the president is. He claims that he consulted a bunch of folks but then he decided alone. I don’t know what voices he's listening to but it's not the voice of the American people, it's not the voice of our professional military and it's certainly not this Congress."
Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md. On Iraq:
"The nation was looking to the president to show leadership for change. We heard that on energy. But I was very disappointed on Iraq. The nation was looking forward to something other than staying the course and increasing the U.S. presence. He didn’t at all provide hope in that regard."
Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill. On 'Low Energy:'
"It was one of the most lackluster of the State of the Union addresses I've heard since I've been in Congress. There was low energy from him and low energy in the room. I felt that people reacted without enthusiasm. Usually after the State of the Union I feel like I've had an aerobic workout. Not tonight. There was very little standing, not even that much clapping."
