Journalist Calls Out Obama For Doing Exactly What He Said He Wouldnt Do [VIDEO] President Obama has done everything he can to silence his critics on the press, but at a recent press conference, he could not stop ABC News chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl from speaking his mind. He criticized President Obama for slamming former president George W. Bush while he was campaigning for the presidency, arguing that he was abusing the powers of the executive branch and bypassing Congress. When you were running for president, you said, The biggest problems we are facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all and thats what I intend to reverse, Karl began. So my question to you, has Congress inability to do anything significant given you a green light to push the limits of executive power, even a duty to do so? Before Obama could answer, Karl pushed further. Or put another way, does it bother you more to be accused of being an imperial president pushing those limits or to be accused of being a do-nothing president who couldnt get anything done because he faced dysfunctional Congress? Karls question appears less like an insult and more like support, but it does call out the immense hypocrisy we have seen under President Obama. Im bound by the Constitution, Obama answered. Im bound by separation of powers. Theres some things we cant do. Congress has the power of the purse, for example. What I am consistently going to do, is wherever I have the legal authorities to make progress on behalf of middle class Americans and folks working to get in the middle classIm going to seize those opportunities and thats what I think the American people expect me to do. What do you think? Is Obama dodging the real issue here? How does negotiating with Iran help the middle class?
