President Obama’s State of the Union: What were the most Tweet-worthy moments?

Click the chart to see all the other highlights including some top tweets from both sides of the political spectrum.

The State of the Radii
Why double-checking for accuracy in infographics is vital. 
The ratio of the diameters is 2.45, which means the ratio of the areas is going to be (2.45)^2 or 6.00. But the ratio of America’s GDP to China’s GDP (14.6T/5.7T) is only 2.56! The US circle is too big! What’s the progressive propaganda machine trying to sell us here?!
