Republicans, Tea Party Respond to Obama Address 
------------------------------------------------



After Obama's address, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin gave the official
Republican response. In a first for the GOP, Republican Rep. Michele
Bachmann of Minnesota then gave the official response of the Tea Party.

Rep. Michele Bachmann: "In the end, unless we fully repeal 'Obamacare,'
a nation that currently enjoys the world's finest healthcare might be
forced to rely on government-run coverage. That could have a devastating
impact on our national debt for even generations to come."
