president has the duty to do under article 2 of the constitution. many of those are routine matters that are perfectly appropriate with including some issue offed by president obama. the issue isn t in numbers, it s the reach the president has taken in a whole host of areas from education to welfare reform. simply waving statutory requirements in our welfare laws so benefits can be extended to people who don t qualify under the law for them. waving requirements of the no child left behind act. many much these things need to be addressed in the congress. not in the white house. the president says i have a pen and a cell phone. if you don t do it i ll do it myself. that doesn t build confidence in the congress that if we pass new laws he will enforce them. if you are not going to carry
could work together on. now that we ve accentuated the positive, you have this new op ed in the wall street journal, the imperial presidency of barack obama. you accuse him of wantonly ignoring federal law. that s not quite accusing him of being a criminal but comes a little bit close. it s actually a different thing. it is we have never seen a president in the history of our country who when he disagrees with a law simply says he will not enforce it and unilaterally dedecrees changes to it. when he didn t agree with immigration laws or drug laws or welfare laws he said his administration will not enforce them nipg anymore. with obamacare. over and over again he is directly contradicted the law, just changed it unilaterally. granted an exemption for big business even those text of the law says big business doesn t get an exemption. he granted an exemption for members of congress even though the text of the law says they don t get an exemption. and most strikingly, when you had ov
experts say that we are reaching, quote, a dangerous territory when any president decides to ignore laws he doesn t agree with or rewrites them as in the case of obama care or posting on the white house blog. let s talk about it now with evan bayh and senator jon kyl. let s start with you, senator kyl. the sentiment has not been only for president obama but any president that would rewrite laws by giving speeches, what s the danger there? there was concern as he reached out in the foreign policy area. presidents send to do that. what is different about obama is that i think probably at least since fdr he has pushed the limits of executive authority on domestic matters to the limits. on immigration reform he s decided not to and all welfare laws, education, anti-drug laws,
question of, not the intimacy of marriage and love relationships, but rather, the intimacy of access to privilege, that comes, for example, with entrance into an ivy league university for students, for faculty, for contracting. whether or not you still see that kind of initial gag reflex or distrust of black bodies to do the sort of work that is institutionally on the inside. well, we certainly see that resistance, a quite high intensity at m.i.t. and i find the horrific part, not so much to paragraph, but the one sentence before that paragraph, i would like to read that. they saw a way of life under attack and they feared it s lost. for me i asked, could the dinosaurs perhaps saved themselves? and the answer is, of course, they did not.
let s go into war. and this continued. i mean, talking about boston. remember when cnn, they said, oh, they caught the guy and they already arrested him. there are flaws, but we amend them. they shouldn t be politicized. but there is also a major issue about our credibility as news anchors, especially when you travel abroad. and most of the foreign reporters, they are embedded for security reasons. so what kind of voices you re hearing on the ground of the people that are in syria, in iraq, eventually, or in iran. you need to hear these voices more than ever. i was also going to suggest that the ability of any given news organization, whether it means to or not to mislead is in part context. the ability to believe that osama bin laden and saddam hussein are in cahoots requires people to know does not understand what world or the nature of these historic and we control them. if you look at the islamic arab world for example, why in certain areas are the state regimes that cont
