President Barack Obama sounded confident Thursday about his prospects for re-election, telling a radio host that he has another five years left in his presidency.
“My presidency is not over. I’ve got another five years coming up,” Obama said, responding to a Univision Radio host’s suggestion that he had not delivered on his campaign promise to tackle immigration reform.
“We’re going to get this done,” Obama said. He also suggested that the Latino community recognized that his efforts to pass reform had been blocked by Republicans in Congress.
“Unfortunately, the Republican side, which used to at least give lip service to immigration reform, now they’ve gone completely to a different place, and have shown themselves unwilling to talk at all about any sensible solutions to this issue, and we’re going to have to just keep up the pressure until they act.”
Pressed again about whether he had broken his promise, Obama said there was a limit to what the Executive Branch could accomplish.
“I would have only broken my promise if I hadn’t tried,” he said. “But ultimately, I’m one man. You know, we live in a democracy. We don’t live in a monarchy. I’m not the king.”

Aha.
So if he really thought that there was a limit to what executive branch could accomplish and he is only 1 man bla bla bla, then why did he promise to do all these things in the first place?????!!! The answer is that he thought he could do it and I believe he tried- oh he tried his best- he is just simply too dumb and egoistic to make any positive change.
So yes, Mr. President, you broke your promise.
So if we live in a democracy, why do you issue Executive Orders contrary to the Constitution. That would be one of the founding documents that YOU said is more of a hinderence than anything else.
In 258 days this democracy will send you and your Moochelle back to Chicago so you could pal around again with your terrorist friends and your dispicable galach!
