he will not work with Obama because the president went around Congress with an executive order to shield from deportation millions of people living here illegally.
"I don't think we can trust the president on this issue," Ryan said
If Ryan is bothered by Obama "going around congress," wouldn't the fix be for congress to pass whatever reform they wanted.
IMO, this is nothing but a poorly veiled excuse for Ryan appealing to the hard conservatives without facing his own views as listed here: Paul Ryan on Immigration
Ryan is just another pandering political wimp who scapegoats.

Or perhaps the simple truth is Ryan simply does not trust President Obama. It isn't as though they had a very good start at the beginning of this Administration.

Sorry but no. Its an excuse. He does in fact have the power to do something, as does all the Republicans who are in a majority.....its just that in reality he doesn't want to do anything. Its all much easier to blame Obama for their failure to act.

Kind of like how they blame Obama for budget issues when they are the one deciding spending.
Has President Obama ever submitted a balanced budget?
LOL. Somehow you miss the point that the presidents "budget" isn't used at all. Its a "mommy can I spend X on this?"
Its almost like you dont understand how spending is decided in our country.
Apologies, I'm tired and that flew off my fingers without thought. However I still contend that there is personal animosity between the President and Ryan and no trust. If Ryan chooses to use that, excuse or not, oh well.
Yes he has. It's generally voted down something like 99-0.
As Greywar rightly pointed out, it doesn't work that way and President Obama could not honestly balance a budget if his life depended on it because he would have to propose drastically raising taxes and cutting ALL social programs, something no politician on the horizon has the backbone to do. Budget hocus pocus and smoke and mirrors don't constitue balancing a budget.

Sorry, its late and I missed the "balanced" part.
