There is a link to the transcript at the Breitbart story. Mr. "I was, uh, a, uh, constitutional law professor" didn't answer the question. Not that he could in any way that makes sense. He's a spoiled brat who, when playing the board game with the rest of the family, flips the board over and ruins the game for everyone when he realized he's losing.
STEPHANOPOULOS: How do you respond to the argument, a future president comes in, wants lower taxes. Doesnt happen. Congress wont do it he says Im not going to prosecute those who dont pay capital gains tax.
OBAMA: Well, the truth of the matter is, George, that the reason that we have to do prosecutorial discretion in immigration is that we know we are not even close to being able to deal with the folks who have been here a long time. The vast majority of folks understand that they need to pay taxes, and when we conduct an audit, for example, we are selecting those folks who are most likely to be cheating. Were not going after millions and millions of people who everybody knows are here and were taking advantage of low wages as theyre mowing lawns or cleaning out bedpans, and looking the other way but then you got politicians suddenly going out there saying, suggesting somehow that we should be deporting all of them. Everybody knows, including Republicans, that were not going to deport 11 million people.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So you dont think itd be legitimate for a future president to make that argument?
OBAMA: With respect to taxes? Absolutely not.

If a Republican referred to millions of immigrants as people “mowing lawns or cleaning out bedpans” the media would crucify them. Why is it acceptable for liberals to demean immigrants?
