Sen. Rand Paul, a likely GOP presidential candidate, took on the duties of a one-man rapid-response team and pounced on President Obamas State of the Union Address on multiple platforms.

The Kentucky senator posted his own response to Obamas speech on his YouTube channel offering a separate viewfrom the official Republican rebuttal being delivered by Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa and the Tea Partys view from Rep. Curt Clawson of Florida. Paul is also scheduled to appear on Fox News at 11 p.m. ET.

In his 12-minute video, Paul calls for new leadership and new blood in Washington and leveled broadsides at Obama on issues such as the budget, taxes, health care and foreign policy. Paul pointedly criticized Obama for contributing to income inequality in America and said the presidents policies have allowed the poor to get poorer and the rich to get richer.

The president is intent to redistribute the pie, but not growing it, Paul said in his video. He misunderstands that the bulk of America wants a bigger pie.

Paul didnt limit his criticism to Obama and included his colleagues in Congress as part of the problem.

In another State of the Union-related response, Paul encouragedhis supporters to use a fact-checking tool on his Facebook page to review some of Obamas previous statements.

The libertarian-minded senator is no stranger to the post-State of the Union drill. Paul delivered the Tea Party Express response in 2013 and criticized Obama for increasing spending, raising taxes and overusing his executive authority.

Here are some of the Obama jabs Paul posted on Twitter:

Rand Paul on SOTU: 'Turn the page' on Obama's failed policies

It was President Obama speaking, but it was rock singer BobSegerthat Sen. Rand Paul said he was thinking about.

The Kentucky Republican and potential 2016 presidential contender, noting Mr. Obamas declaration that the country could now turn the page on recent hard times at his Tuesday evening State of the Union address, said the Detroit rocker expressed it much better in his 1972 song about the difficulties of life on the road.

All I could think about was Bob Segers song, and I was wishing Bob Seger was up there speaking and not Obama, Mr. Paul told a moderate Republican group Wednesday morning at the Capitol Hill Club.

The song is kind of melancholy, he noted. It is ultimately about moving forward. But I think we as a nation are moving backward.

Mr. Obama used the turn the page line to tout what he said were his administrations successes in guiding the economy back from the Great Recession, but Mr. Paul argued the presidents policies have only left the U.S. in a deeper hole.

The president is on course to add more to the deficit than all 43 presidents combined. And he has the gall to brag about reducing the deficit, Mr. Paul told a breakfast meeting of the Ripon Society.

The Kentucky senator offered what he said were better ways to stimulate the economy than government checks to random citizens.

If I have $800 billion and I want to pass it out, if I randomly select people to give the money to, I dont know if they are going to use that money on businesses, Mr. Paul said. But returning that money to Americans in the form of a tax cut, youll find that it is a hundred times more effective than the government just passing it around.
