The most important word the President spoke in SOTU...
"veto".
The president will need to show early that he is willing and able to put a leash on the extremist Republicans.
All the accomplishments and positive things that the President spoke about last night meant absolutely nothing to the Republicans. The only thing they respect is power. The President needs to show them that he still has power. He needs to veto something as soon as possible. He cannot ask for respect. He must demand it.
