CNN’s Blitzer: ‘I Don’t Remember a State of the Union with So Many Veto Threats’

CNN host Wolf Blitzer was struck by the sheer amount of times President Obama brandished his veto power during his State of the Union address on Tuesday night, saying he can’t remember a speech with so many threats to an opposing Congress.

Facing hostile Republicans, the president promised to veto legislation attempting to undo Obamacare, new Wall Street regulations, or executive action on immigration. He also threatened to veto new Iran sanctions — something many Democrats also support.

“I don’t remember a State of the Union address where I heard a president issue so many veto threats . . . to the opposite party in the United States’ Congress,” Blitzer said.
