I dont remember a State of the Union address where I heard a president issue so many veto threats. Obama peppered his speech with promises to block legislation advanced by the Republicans who just took full control of Congress in last Novembers elections. He notably singled out GOP efforts to repeal Obamacare and deregulate Wall Street. Obamas most direct veto threat, however, came later in the speech when he addressed negotiations with Iran aiming to curtail its nuclear ambitions. Congressional Republicans and even some Democrats are pushing for more sanctions against the country, but the White House insists such legislation would undermine the talks.
