Obama's 'blunt' G20 talks with Putin - Video

BRISBANE, Australia President Obama dismissed renewed criticism of his signature health care law Sunday and disputed an assertion from a former architect of the policy who claimed the administration had deceived lawmakers.
Jonathan Gruber, an economist, suggested last year that the administrations signature health-care legislation passed in part because of the stupidity of the American voter and a lack of transparency over its funding mechanisms.
I just heard about this, Obama said at a new conference, after wrapping up two days of meetings with world leaders here at the G-20 Summit. The fact that some adviser who never worked on our staff expressed his opinion that I completely disagree with it is no reflection on the actual process that was run.
It marked the first time Obama has weighed in on the video, which became public after he left Washington for a week-long trip to Asia. Gruber is an MIT economics professor and health care policy expert who was a paid consultant for the Obama administration on the Affordable Care Act.
His remarks were captured on a video that recently surfaced on social media and have been seized on by Republicans who want to dismantle the law. Conservatives in both chambers of Congress said they might call on Gruber to testify on Capitol Hill, a process that would reopen the ugly political fight over a law that has already enrolled millions of Americans in new health care plans.
We had a year-long debate, Obama said. Go look back at your stories. One thing we cant say is that we didnt have a lengthy debate over health care in the United States. Every press outlet here should go back and pull up every clip and every story. Its fair to say there is not a provision in the health care law that was not extensively debated and was not fully transparent.
In a news conference that touched on several diverse topics, Obama also spoke for the first time about his face-to-face meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The two leaders, whose relations have turned icy over Russian support for Ukrainian separatists, spoke informally several times at an economic forum in Beijing last week and at the G-20 Summit in Brisbane.
Obama called the discussions business-like, and said he warned Putin that if he continues down the path that he is on ... the isolation that Russia is currently experiencing will continue.
On Syria, Obama reiterated that his thinking had not changed over his refusal to send in U.S. ground troops to fight in the U.S.-led campaign against the Islamic State militant group in Syria and Iraq. The president has authorized an increase in troops to act in support and advisory roles in the Middle East, but he said suggestions that his military advisers are requesting U.S. forces to fight on the front lines is wrong.

Obama dismisses renewed criticism of health care law
President Barack Obama said he doesnt expect Republicans to attempt to use a year-end spending bill to counter his executive actions on immigration, a move that would threaten to shut the government.
Theres no reason for it to shut down. We traveled down that path before, Obama said a press conference in Brisbane, Australia, where he was attending the Group of 20 summit. It was bad for the country, it was bad for every elected official in Washington and at the end of the day was resolved in the same way it wouldve been resolved if we hadnt shut the government down.
Obama is in the final stages of crafting a plan that would provide relief from deportation to many undocumented immigrants who are parents of U.S. citizens and possibly also parents of legal residents and immigrants brought to the country as minors, according to people familiar with administration planning.
Obama may use his executive authority to expand an order he issued in 2012 that staved off deportation for qualified undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as minors, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.
Doing so would be a direct challenge to House Republicans, whove refused to act on immigration legislation already passed by the Senate. Republican congressional leaders, including Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner, warned Obama at a White House meeting last week that acting unilaterally would poison relations. Boehner, an Ohio Republican, told reporters Nov. 13 in Washington that the party will fight the president tooth and nail on this.
McConnell previously said there would be no government shut down, and Obama said today he took McConnell at his word.
To avoid a politically risky showdown, Republicans in the House are considering pushing the immigration fight with Obama into early next year by attaching language to a stop-gap funding bill that would keep the government open past Dec. 11.
Under the option, Congress could block funding for agencies involved in immigration, such as the Department of Homeland Security, so that a presidential veto would lead to a shutdown of only the agencies covered in the bill. The tactic means the final decision about immigration spending in the current fiscal year would fall to the next Congress, with Republicans in control of both chambers.
Obama said he is primarily concerned with calibrating the executive order in the proper way, not how Republicans will react. The executive action will require adjustments to how the Homeland Security Department operates and where it deploys resources, Obama said.
I want to make sure weve crossed all our Ts and dotted all of our Is, Obama said. He said the Justice Department has ruled that his action would be on firm legal footing.
