I am curious to see what everyone on Room Eight thought about last night's speech?

Personally, I thought President Obama hit it out of the park. BUT, I wonder if it was an overly ambitious speech as well. 

Call me crazy, but after a big speech, I generally search for official statements made by our local representatives. I am always interested to see what their take on it was. The only one I have found so far is from Rep. Towns. He released an official statement last night, and I was honestly impressed. I will spare you the entire statement, but check this out:

A new day is here, and in the words of our President, ‘that day of reckoning has arrived.’ We have a lot of work to do.  I join President Obama in believing that if we work together our nation can restore the American promise.
