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.

Are you serious?
Did you honestly expect the president to barge into the Senate floor and say: "Everyone, stop. We don't need to deal with the economy, or health care, or energy reform, or education, or finance reform, or social security, or anti-discrimination laws. No, what we reeeeeeally need to focus on right now is to pass this bill —the Dream Act— which will roughly benefit 1 million kids. That's our priority, and that's what the American people want"
If you were truly expecting him to prioritize the DA over the other pressing legislation, then you have a lot to learn about politics.
