No, he's not lying or backstabbing us. That would imply he is dishonest. No, he's ignoring us. Which implies he's turned into scum.

DON'T MAKE ME POST SOME SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK UP IN THIS THREAD.
Le sigh, seriously though ... the President can be all sorts of hopeful and make lovely promises. However, at the end of the day he is but one man in charge of the executive branch.
For that immigration bills, look to the Congress. They're the ones that set the schedule anyhow. The great thing about Obama's presidency is that he's using his power to lead, not legislate, as the Founding Fathers intended. Don't even get me started on Bush's signing statements. Let's just say that the Obama adminstration is refreshing after 8 years of Bush/Cheney sticking their noses into the legislative process.
