I guess they need a drug test too:
President Barack Obama has lost the most trusted man in the Hispanic media.Hmm, that sounds familiar. So do this:
Univision’s Jorge Ramos, an anchor on the nation’s largest Spanish-language television network, says Obama broke his promise to produce an immigration reform bill within a year of taking office. And Latinos are tired of the speeches, disillusioned by the lack of White House leadership and distrustful of the president, Ramos told POLITICO.
“He has a credibility problem right now with Latinos,” Ramos said. “We’ll see what the political circumstances are in a couple of years, but there is a serious credibility problem.”
The shift in tone among Hispanic opinion makers is helping solidify a narrative about Obama among Latino voters. They held great hopes for the president — given his promise in a May 2008 interview with Ramos to draft an immigration reform bill during his first year in office — but he has deeply disappointed them so far.And this sounds familiar too:
“Latinos voted overwhelmingly for President Obama, and they expected him to keep his promise and he broke his promise,” said Ramos...
An administration official pointed to the president’s accomplishments on immigration reform — his work with senators on a legislative framework, pressing Republicans to step up and delivering the speech last month to restart the discussion. But until a few Republicans break ranks, the official said, Obama is stymied.
For years, they said, Democratic leaders told Hispanics to be patient; now, their patience has run out.This is the way President Obama operates. At some point Democrats, including the crowd that still thinks Barack Obama is their boyfriend, need to wake up and realize that the guy we voted for isn't going to do squat unless we force him to.
