    President Obama is on the road today, taking the messages of last night's State of the Union speech to voters across the country. We summarize the results, get partisan reactions and hear from Americans in different parts of the country. Also, Egyptians were back in Tahrir Square today, one year since the beginning of protests that ousted a dictator. We update current opinion.
