WASHINGTON — Two guests. Two themes.
U.S. Reps. Marc Veasey, D-Fort Worth and Roger Williams, R-Austin, who represent portions of Texas' Tarrant County, each invited a constituent as their guest to attend the State of the Union speech Tuesday night. (Each member is entitled to invite one guest.)
Veasey's guest: Yolonde Rocio, 54, a veteran of the first Gulf War from Forest Hill who is active in helping veterans, especially homeless veterans.

Democrats praised Obama for his plans to expand the economy, encourage innovation, and strengthen the middle class.
