taking on a victory lap, next to last state of the union speech and joining us judy wood rough, mark shields, david brooks and we'll all talk about what we saw in the speech tonight, david. >> it's one of the better state of the union speeches. a nice mix of rhetoric and policy. some uplift, some aggressively uplifting. 60% of the country still thinks the country is on track. he was pretty celebratory, a little off kilter with the move. the middle class economics, a three-part vision giving people security, competitiveness and skills. i think interesting throughout how we praise policy. so in 2008 i thought it was a very liberal speech but this as a speech i thought was very well crafted. >> what tid you hear? i heard a stronger speech at the beginning than the end and i thought he really exploited the advantage he has. i didn't think it was a victory lap as much as a victory stroll, and he is playing to his strengths right now. the republicans are enormously divided. you've got mitch mcconnell taking credit for the economy and john boehner saying the economy is in worse shape than it was. the republican

brooks. so good to see you. >> good to see you, judi. >>judy.>> woodruff: you've had 72 hours to reflect.what does the state of the union look like now? what sticks about it? do we focus on the middle class economic policy or something else? >> i guess two things. one, the decision not to emphasize things that could pass. for the obama presidency, quite productive, last six years zero productivity as far as legislation. he opted to do that. he picked five or six things that were semi-plausible to get passed but instead picked other things. the second element i lock back on is he set up a debate the next president will lead and will be the next campaign. so he really set up the next campaign. what he did was he put an issue in the center which will be the central issue of the next campaign which is middle class wage growth and inequality, and he presented the idea and co-heard around the platform. there used to be splits between larry somers and the moderate side of the party and people on the left, center for american progress was the think tank now they're pretty much all in the same spo

brooks. it's so good to see both of you. >> thank you, judy. >> woodruff: so before we talk about politics io ask you about what i discuss with marcia coyle earlier, mark, and that is the supreme court announcing it is going to take up the same-sex marriage question. thoughts? >> well as marcia pointed out, along with the affordable care act, which the court is also considering, the two big ones, but judy, david's made the point before about the velocity with which this issue has moved. on may 6, 2012, joe biden, the vice president of the united states said he was comfortable with same-sex marriage and it upabsolutely exploded. how could he do this? he put the president in a terrible position. that was three years ago. now rob portman announcing he was going to run for republican he would have been the first republican candidate to endorse same-sex marriage. this issue moved so fast. 36 states. there's a little bit of anti-climactickic feel even though it's of great importance constitutionally. >> you have to go back to the years of prejudice against gays and lesbians and it's washing away.
