On Tuesday afternoon, President Barack Obama continued his streak of railing against Republican "obstructionism" in Congress, taunting the rival party for "doing nothing" while threatening legal action against the president to curb executive authority.

Speaking near the Key Bridge in Washington, D.C., Obama implored Congress to continue funding for the Federal Highway Trust Fund, and suggested that the political system is currently rigged in favor of those who aren't in need, by those lawmakers who refuse to take action.
