Marco Rubio
Marco Rubio had a severe case of dry mouth on Tuesday night, as he delivered the official Republican response to President Obama’s 2013 State of the Union address.
In one of his most anticipated speeches-the first State of the Union address since the November election-President Obama Tuesday emphasized once again the need for comprehensive immigration reform to pass in order to bolster the U.S. economy.
Tonight was President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech, which, inconveniently for the news networks, cut into their live coverage of Chris Dorner's standoff with police in the wooded hills of California. Luckily, there was Marco Rubio's water-bottle grab to focus on later, so the networks are probably happy with the night. Here's an overview of how the big three cable news channels covered the President's speech and their reactions at the end of the night.

As the debate on immigration reform continues, immigration agents now want to be part of President Obama's reform talks while opponents of so-called "amnesty" are ready to take their case to court.
On the heels of the big push on immigration reform in the last few weeks, President Obama is expected to talk about fixing the immigration system in his highly-anticipated State of the Union address Tuesday.
With immigration reform seemingly closer than ever before, supporters of a deal fixing the U.S. immigration system are pushing for Republicans to get a deal done soon--one that would provide a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
With the debate on immigration reform still swirling, labor leaders are beginning to throw their support behind changing immigration policy.
It looks as if U.S. representatives in the Republican Party--long opposed to providing a pathway to immigration for undocumented Republicans--may be ready to reconsider their position, which bodes well for pending immigration reform proposals on Capitol Hill.
While it appears a bipartisan plan for immigration reform is in the works, one pundit is criticizing a Republican senator the plans.
After years of debate on immigration reform, President Obama says that a comprehensive bill on immigration could become law only six months from now.
The long-awaited push for changes to immigration policy in the U.S. looks ready to take flight after President Obama called for immigration reform Tuesday during the same week that a group of bipartisan U.S. senators presented a concrete plan for immigration reform.
By the numbers, it looks like a majority--a slim one--support the idea of giving undocumented immigrants permission to apply for U.S. citizenship and stay in the country.
