While the Obama-loving media trashed Sen. Marco Rubio's (R-Fl.) response to Barack Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday, conservative talk radio host begged to differ.

"I thought it was the greatest reply to a State of the Union speech I ever saw," Levin said on Fox News's Hannity Wednesday.

MARK LEVIN: I watched the Rubio speech and I thought it was the greatest reply to a State of the Union speech I ever saw. And the substance was unbelievable. He laid out the conservative principled case and applied it to what's going on today in our society. But he also laid out what Obama was doing in no uncertain terms and what the future looks like with either path.

This Rubio is a superstar. He was, he was excellent. Look, I know he didn't have the clapping seals jumping up and down every time and 20 minutes of a pre-show, pre-State of the Union discussion hype from the media and all the presidential trappings and all, which makes it more remarkable what Rubio did. Rubio gave a tremendous speech, and frankly so did Rand Paul.
