Sen. Rand Paul, a likely GOP presidential candidate, took on the duties of a one-man rapid-response team and pounced on President Obama’s State of the Union Address on multiple platforms. The Kentucky senator posted his own response to Obama’s speech on his YouTube channel — offering a separate view from the official Republican rebuttal being delivered by Sen.
