That frosty relationship could grow chillier due to Obama's new tack, at least judging by the early reactions from Republican leaders.

“This idea that he's just going to go it alone – going have to remind him we do have a Constitution and the Congress writes the laws,” House Speaker John Boehner warned Tuesday morning. “The president's job is to execute the laws faithfully. And if he tries to ignore this, he's going to run into a brick wall."

He has already run into that brick wall Mr Boehner. It was built when he took office and the Senate leadership declared to make him a one term President. STFU and do your job.

Thank you cal04! Looking forward to the address tonight!
