topics the president doesn t talk about enough. the president took hits before that interview on sunday morning shows as well. this is paul ryan making some headlines yesterday. we have an increasingly lawless presidency where he is doing the job of congress, writing new policies and new laws without going through congress. president doesn t write laws, congress does. a lawless presidency, that s a bold assertion that was overlooked yesterday because of the game perhaps. it s a bold assertion and become a key talking point. the electorate cares about the substance of the executive order and maybe they like what the president is doing on exgts pa carbon or not. minus pointing out that the president had delay eed a key pt of his own health care law. he didn t cite examples. you want to say that you have problems with the way he handled
we re a few illinois bringing more snow on top of what fell over the weekend. have a listen to that. not clear if one lane was slow-moving. as fast as 45, 50 miles per hour. slow-moving, for sure. bill: forecasters say the track of the storm similar to the last one. so about to get hit again. martha: new allegations president obama is running a lawless presidency. this comes from, rissman paul ryan, claiming the president is doing an end run around congress with actions he believes is illegal. we have increasingly lawless presidency where he is actually doing the job of congress, writing new policies and new laws about going through congress. when he does things like he did on health care, delaying mandates that the los losses weo supposed to occur when they
on its heels. so stay alert. in the meantime, president obama is addressing critics of the affordable health care act head-on. my main priority is making sure that it delivers for the american people. what we ve ended up doing is we ve got three million people signed up. so far we re about a month behind from where we anticipated where we wanted to be. what we re constantly figuring out is how do we improve it? how do we make sure the folks that can t get health insurance are able to get health insurance. joining me to talk about this is congresswoman karen bass of california. republicans are continuing to blast the president on health care. take a listen to paul ryan. we have a continuous lawless presidency where he s doing the job of congress, writing new policies and new laws without going through congress. presidents don t write laws. congress does. and when he does things like he did in health care, delaying
