mr. obama energetically attacked president bush as a unilateralist and mr. obama always played the part of a wise multilateralist, when then-senator barack obama was running forice he declared he would not abuse his power like president bush. >> these last few years, we've seen an unacceptable abuse of power at home. we face real threats, any president needs the latitude to confront them swiftly and surely. we paid a heavy price for having a president whose priority is expanding his own power. the constitution is treated like a nuisance. lou: he could have hardly better described himself, a narcissistic petullant president punished his policy is repudiated and vengeance unleashed, a president whose unilateralism is anything far beyond imagined by previous presidents. no one, no government able to keep him in check. amnesty for illegal immigrants and reverse posture by the united states toward communist cuba. all amount to blatant disregard for the constitution, the congress, the laws they've created, and our national traditions. he is now lashing out at the american people who elected and re-elected him, and whom he now accuses of harboring deeply rooted raci

president barack obama is skeptical mr. putin will reveal any major change in cause.lly damaged country's economy. vladimir putin has been the president of russia since 2012. but if you think about it, he's not just the country's leader. he has become a national icon. as matthew chanreports. >> this says crimea is ours. >> yeah. >> for many, vladimir putin is more than just a president. he's a symbol of national pride and aicon adorning the patriotic t-shirts in this store. >> it shows putin as an olympic hero. >> yeah, like superhero. >> is this meant to be ironic. is it a joke? >> yeah, it's joke, but i don't think so. >> certainly his popularity ratings of more than 80% are no laughing matter. and of course, these provocative t-shirts suggest one light hearted sign of what many in the west regard a much darker trend in russia. there are concerns the country may be slipping back towards soviet style authoritarianism, and that after years of embracing the west, russia is reversing course. the toppling of ukraine's president seems to be a tipping point. then backed se

mr. speaker. those are president barack obama's words. there are enough laws on the books by congress that are very clear, very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system, that for me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my responsibilities as president. that's powerful, mr. speaker, but that's not even the most interesting part of that response. he went on in that question and said this -- that doesn't mean that we can't make decisions to emphasize enforcement. it doesn't mean that we can't strongly advocate and propose legislation that would change the law in order to make it fair or more just and ultimately would help young people who are here trying to do the right thing and whose talents we want to embrace in order to succeed as a country. it doesn't mean that we can't work hard to change the law. it just means that i as president don't have the ability to do it by myself. the constitution requires a team effort between congress and the white house. mr. spea

president barack obama promises to continue the fight to improve race relations in america. in an interview with the b.e.t. network, mr. obama his personal experiences help him to empathize with all people affected by the recent protests, from the protesters to the families, and especially young black people. he referred to a meeting he had with young nonviolent protesters on monday. >> a country's conscience sometimes has to be triggered by some inconvenience, because i think a lot of people who saw the eric garner video are troubled, even if they haven't had that same experience themselves. even if they're not african american or latino. i think there are a lot of good, well meaning people. i think there are probably a lot of police officers who might have looked at that and said that is a tragedy what happened, and we have to figure out how to bring an end to these kinds of tragedies. then attention spans move on, right? there is the next thing there is some international crisis. there is something that happens here. and change doesn't really occur. and the value of peaceful protests activism, organizing, it remind

barack obama together. i've never seen america this united. what a swell way to end this ugly year. >> mr., what about our cybertech tech and our intelligence? why can't we find out who actually did this? >> i think we have to separate this into two components. the first component is very much about the cyber attack and how you deal with unit 121 which is this unit that the is groomed within north korea to conduct these attacks. um, it is that component and then the component of actually a cyber attack is one thing. committing an actual attack on u.s. sovereign territory is another and the broader conversation is about the lone wofrl and the influence that any ideology or any actions of north korea might have will be able to infill straight for the u.s. and for me this is a poor calculation of risk assessment and it's probability vers us intent. you use that risk to assimilate threat levels throughout the country and we look at the rhetoric coming from isis and syria and there is a generic risk applied to america. if you have more intelligence through the fbi and the cia that zones in on a

barack obama, formerly of summerville. >> oh,. >> i've been -- >> come on! >> i've got a few complaints about service in and around the neighborhood. but i've moved down south since that time. >> you're kidding, mrpresident. who is this impersonator? >> i want to ask the governor -- >> who is this impersonator. you're very good. >> i want to find out how it is that you got massachusetts so strong moving in the right direction. >> mr. president, you know i love you, but you still have trouble saying massachusetts, don't you. just say the commonwealth. >> something develops when i say "massachusetts." >> how are you? >> i know how to spell it, though. >> and you know where it is. you've been a great friend to all of us. >> listen, i just wanted to call in. jim, margerie, thank you for letting me do this. i've always wanted to let my dear friend know how proud i am. you know, look, you've got more people working than anytime in the last 25 years, balanced budget, students doing great in school, health care access never been better, clean energy jobs, you know, deval, you've done good, man. >> thank you. >> great thing about radio, you can have the talking points right in front of you. we're right b

mr. chairman, of all the relevant premises i think we could consider perhaps the most foundational would be to simply read the oath that president barack obamaade when he laid his hand upon the lincoln bible almost six years ago. i do solemnly swear that i will faithfully execute the office of president of the united states. and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the united states. mr. chairman, i believe the recent executive action by the preside president, on illegal immigration is categorically incompatible with that oath. i'm also convinced there are very few things a president can do more dangerous to a republic such as ours. if american presidents in the future should consider these days precedent and consider themselves unconstrained to the constitution as a matter of routine, the rule of law in america will be no more. and so much of what so many men and women have died on dark battle fields to protected will be undone. these are not light issues, mr. chairman. so my first question to you, sir, justice of the supreme court, james wilson, once explained that the take care clause meant tha

president, president barack obama, as we work with the federal government -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. ms. jackson lee: you became a friend to us all. mr. speaker, i yield back my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. the chair now recognizes the gentlelady from north carolina, mrs. adams, for five minutes. mr. dams: thank you, speaker. i rise today to honor my friend and colleague, distinguished congresswoman with a sweet name, marcia fudge, as her tenure as chair of the congressional black caucus ends. first, i want to thank marcia fudge for welcoming me to capitol hill, for being such a good friend and mentor. and in my short time in congress, she's been an invaluable resource to me, and i truly appreciate that. as a servant of the people, i have long admired her as a woman for not just talking the talk but for walking it too. secondly, i want to thank marcia fudge for her phenomenal leadership. she has successfully guided the congressional black caucus in promoting some of the most pressing issues and concerns of people in our communities. she's been the collective voice of the caucus, bringing light to

barack obama is following in that great and proud tradition set forward by president ronald reagan, that he would rather put families first, the demagoguery and any anti-immigrant policy always last. thank you, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from virginia is recognized. mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker, i yield myself one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker, it's always a pleasure to me to see former president ronald reagan, especially here in the house chamber. i in fact voted for president reagan twice and was proud to support him and one of the things i remember most about president reagan was that great debate with his opponent in one of the presidential debates in which he said, there he goes again, pointing out when his opponent said something inaccurate about him. well, there they go again. because what we have is something today very, very, very different than what president reagan did. president range signed a law -- president reagan signed a law, a bill passed by congress, signed it into law and then he found some things that he didn't think were correct, so he then too

barack obama. i want to revive the practice of letter writing with government officials as a form of communication. that used to be much more fertile many decades ago. >> host: as always, mr. nader, we appreciate your time. >> guest: thank you, peter. >> c-span, created by america's cable companies 35 years ago and brought to you as a public service by your local cable or satellite provider. >> tonight on booktv in prime time, former obama administration officials talk about their books. former cia director and defense secretary leon panetta on his book, "worthy fights." former defense secretary robert gates talks about his book, "duty." and former treasury secretary, timothy geithner, talks about his book, "stress test." it all begins at 8:30 p.m. eastern on c-span2. >> now, dr. jonathan woodson, assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, outlines the complexities and challenges of caring for the nation's military personnel. he spoke during a brookings institution discussion on how to improve the military health system. alice rivlin, former omb director, and former undersecretary of defense robert hale also took part in this event. it's just over two hours. >> go
