In what amounted to a pep talk aimed at disenchanted Hispanic voters, President Obama on Monday blamed Republicans for his unsuccessful efforts to overhaul the nation’s immigration system, telling Hispanic activists that “the Democrats and your president are with you.”

“Feel free to keep the heat on me and the heat on Democrats,” Mr. Obama said in an address to the National Council of La Raza’s annual conference in Washington. But “the Democrats and your president are with you. … Don’t get confused about that. Remember who it is that we need to move in order to actually change the laws.”

The speech was Mr. Obama’s latest effort to court the crucial voting bloc ahead of next year’s election. Last month he paid a brief visit to Puerto Rico — the first trip to the country by a sitting president in decades — and hosted the first-ever White House Hispanic Policy Conference.

One of Obama’s early mentors in the Alinsky method, Mike Kruglik, would later say the following about Obama:

“He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. As with the panhandler, he could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better.”

Oh, really, ZerO? Then why didn’t you do something when you had control of both houses of Congress? Because you know the American people are against it.

Like Bammy has to rally Hispanics. He'll amnestisize tens of millions of Democratos registrados instantos next summer. Many of them won't be any more able to (legally) vote than they are now, but...
