Leaders of immigrant rights and Latino groups told reporters in a conference call on Wednesday that Obama owes his second term to Latino voters, and should repay them by passing comprehensive immigration reform. Obama promised to pass a law legalizing many of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the country while he campaigned four years ago, and he's been chastised by Latino leaders for breaking his promise.
Obama didn't repay the black community for giving him their majority vote. they have more unemployment now than ever. Why do the Latinos think he will do any different for them?
Latino's represented 10% of all votes. Blacks represented 13% of all votes cast. Of those 93% of blacks supported Obama. 71% of Latino's supported Obama.
considering that last election obama promised gays and minorities the world and did not deliver, its astounding they would vote for him again.

DADT is gone, Obama supports gay marriage and now states are getting on board, healthcare is passed, college is more accessible...Obama already appointed 1 Latino and 1 Gay to the supreme court. What do you expect him to do, hand out free cheese..
Folks, time to step out of the bubble. It exploded last night.

That's nice who's going to pay for it?
Will Obama erase my student loans too?
