So, the Republican National Convention was a rerun? We know that President Obama’s stadium-sized presentation had to be downsized due to the raging monsoon in Charlotte, but was the speech downsized too in order to fit indoors?
Wow this is flat #tcot #Hewitt. State of the union replay?

This feels like a State of the Union – not a convention rallying cry. http://t.co/C8kTUUba

All of these goals makes it feel like a State of the Union, not an acceptance speech.

I thought the State of the Union was in winter?

Obama"s speech feels very laundry-listy, like a State of the Union. Boring, even.

Gosh – the Obama thrill is gone. This really is a State of the Union laundry list of NOTHING. #DNC

"State of the Union-y": is the most used term to describe POTUS" speech. Whoever gets it on Urban Dictionary wins the internet tonight. #DNC

Summary so far: Bits of the 2008 convention speech, then a State of the Union, followed by a stump speech, and now straw men. #DNC2012 #tcot

I don"t think Obama & the people at the #DNC want "State of the Union" trending tonight. Neither would Republicans if POTUS was a Republican

This speech feels very "State of the Union." So tired. #DMC2012

How is this different from every other Obama speech America started tuning out 2 years ago? #tcot #tlot #dnc

Campaign told us nt to expect magic tonight. My hopes were still too high. Is this a state of the union? #DNC2012 #Obama2012

I"m lost, this feels more like State of the Union speech. Bring back Bill! Bring back Bill. Bring back Bill!!

Quite the State of the Union type address we are getting here. A LOT different from the fiery Hope and Change from 4 years ago.

Stop the presses. Wisconsin loves it!
Speech about halfway through. Press is lukewarm about it ("State of the Union–y"), but Wisconsin delegation LOVES IT. Tie.

Bill Clinton’s impassioned speech Wednesday night showed that he had been paying attention to the past four years, if not necessarily the facts. So why does Obama’s speech sound so stuck in 2008?
Obama launching into State of the Union-like laundry list of what he will do. Cuz everything he did over last four years FAILED. #DNC

Much like an M. Night Shyamalan film, you had to stay until the end for the big twist.
Obama: "So you see, the election four years ago wasn’t about me. It was about you. My fellow citizens – you were the change. "

What acceptance speech? ‘State of the Union’ trends as Obama speaks to DNC
