2. You realize that he's he president of the US and was voted in by citizens, don't you? In that regard, the government shut down was a bigger priority than dealing with 12 million illegals who shouldn't even be here in the first place, myself included.
Once you're president, you can decide what to set your agenda to but he's the president and you're not. Healthcare was his biggest priority and it was his right so that got done first. More people are without healthcare than there are illegals here so that was his call.
3. And yes, he's telling others to do the work because he has already said he would sign the damn bill, the senate has passed the damn bill, so it's not much he can do to convince republicans other than try to pressure them.
This is what pisses me off about some of you ungrateful children here. You just feel entitled to everything and bite the hand that feeds you.

Your first point is a complete lie. The statistics prove it as well as all of the immigration docket that represents mostly non-criminal, long-settled here immigrants. I know because I went through it and speak out of personal experience. I don't have DACA.
I have education, skills and a good income, ID, etc, because my parents had the excellent foresight to settle in a state (WA), and purposefully in an area where we would be the only Hispanic family around, to ensure our integration and development and acceptance, where we would be given plenty of opportunity by our own community, not by the gov. or 'advocates'. Obama's speech did not fool anyone. You are drinking his kool aid, it is a set up for the next elections. Also, I am a grown woman who's been taking care of herself for quite a while, but to answer your main point, everyone has the right to their own opinion, but NOT to their own facts. And the fact is Obama is not serious about CIR because his whole fucking speech can be summed up like this "Let me p0int the finger at everyone else, especially the GOP, but not to myself, and I am not here to offer anything new".
I am angered at the injustice and hypocrisy of his political games. You are angered by your own lack of opportunity, and I can understand that, as I do feel that way myself sometimes. But you are lying to yourself if you believe this man got off the podium and went back to his office to decide which steps he can take to improve the lives of the immigrant community.
P.S. We waited for months for Gutierrez and the House dems to introduce their "House bill" and now the only bill that can be considered is the Senate one? Do you not see his game? Minutes after his speech, Boehner's staff released a statement saying the House will NOT vote on the Senate bill. Time to consider whatever good the Republicans will offer.
