Listen to KIRO Radio on Friday at 7:15 a.m. to hear Dave’s full interview with President Obama.

KIRO Radio’s Dave Ross is in Washington D.C. where he met with President Barack Obama to discuss the Affordable Care Act.

Follow Dave as he tours the nation’s capitol.

So far, Dave’s found that traffic can be just as bad or worse than in Seattle. He’s also discovered that security at the White House is exactly what he expected it to be: extreme.

So why was Dave invited to meet with the president? He believes that, in part, “local guys like me” will be able to take a fresh look at the Affordable Care Act. He spoke with a correspondent from Florida who told him the state has hardly been involved, if at all.

Dave said his tour of the White House reminded him of a museum, except people are able to touch what they see. “It’s almost criminal,” he said.

Ross: Are we killing car culture? Or is car culture killing the US?

I don’t think the question is whether we're going to "kill" our car culture. The real question is can we stop our car culture from killing the U.S.?

Ross: As cars release driving data to insurance, is your driving my business?

Every move you make, every swerve you take, every lane change you fake – someone’s watching you. Do drivers have a right to keep driving data private?
