Politicians from both sides of the aisle took to the airwaves to attack or defend president Obama’s remarks last night, setting the tone for the rest of his first term in office. But perhaps more importantly, the State of the Union informally kicked off the president’s reelection campaign. This morning, The Takeaway takes a look at how his words resonated with three voters from across the country. Alexandra Jarrin, a registered Democrat from Vermont, Jack Boyle, a registered Republican and Tea Party activist from Solon, Ohio, and Catana Barnes, president of Independent Voters of Nevada join the program to give their reactions.
