House Speaker John Boehner's lawsuit against him is just a 'stunt,' President Barack Obama told ABC News anchor George Stephanopolous on Thursday. Obama said he'd already talked to the GOP legislator and that he told him,‘ "If you’re really concerned about me taking too many executive actions, why don’t you try getting something done through Congress?" ' 'You're going to squawk if I try to fix some parts of it administratively that are within my authority while you're not doing anything?' Obama said, referring to House Republicans. "I'm not going to apologize for trying to do something while they're doing nothing.'
