Obama told immigration advocates today that he's only the president, so there's only so much he can do

How silly of them not to demand a meeting with someone who has actual power.

"We met with the President. He stayed with us for an hour. He started the meeting by saying that he's always been on our side on the subject of comprehensive immigration reform. But the group reacted by telling him they needed more from him, that he get more involved in the problem, and in finding a solution. He defended himself, saying yes, he understands there's a problem, but that he's the President, not the Senate or the Congress."
George Bush wasn't the Senate or the Congress and he seemed to do quite well getting what he wanted. Lots of presidents do. That's because they do more than just give speeches, and then tell everyone how powerless they are to make real change. They actually fight for change. Fight for their promises.
