Mexican Media asking the question that needed to be asked

How can UniVision have the Conjones to ask real question, yet the Big US Media just tucks everything between their legs and ask Obama. Nope they ask question like and these are real questions to Obama during a US interview

Then you have Univision

President Obama may have the overwhelming support of Latino voters in
his race against Republican Mitt Romney, but that didn't get him a free
pass during his appearance Thursday at Univision's presidential
candidate forum.

Obama faced repeated
tough questions from the hosts of the forum on the Spanish-language
channel, and from some in the audience, for his failure to deliver on
his promise as a candidate in 2008 to push comprehensive immigration
reform during his first year in the White House.

Coming
as it did just a day after the Justice Department's watchdog issued a
critical report on the agency's now defunct "Fast and Furious" program,
in which federal agents let guns from the U.S. reach Mexican criminals,
Obama was forced to defend Attorney General Eric Holder.

But
the town hall-style meeting at the University of Miami also gave the
president another chance this week to score points at the Republican
presidential nominee's expense in the wake of Romney's dismissive
comments about nearly half of the electorate. Romney had his chance on Univision the day before.

Co-host
Jorge Ramos, who has kept after Obama since early in his presidency
about the need for presidential leadership on immigration reform, wanted
Obama to confess to breaking a vow he made during a May 2008 interview
with him.

RAMOS: "At the beginning of your government, you had control of both
chambers of Congress, and yet you did not introduce immigration reform.
And before I continue, I want for you to acknowledge that you did not
keep your promise."

Obama answered that the campaign promise he made in May 2008 was
overtaken by events, namely the economic meltdown and a possible
depression.

OBAMA: "I think
everybody here remembers where we were four years ago. We lost 800,000
jobs the month that I took office. Small businesses and big businesses
couldn't get financing. People had seen their 401(k)s evaporate. People
were losing homes left and right.

"And
so we had to take a whole series of emergency actions to make sure that
we put people back to work — cutting taxes for middle-class families and
small businesses, so that they could stay open or pay the bills; making
sure that states got assistance, so they didn't have to lay off
teachers and firefighters and police officers; saving an auto industry
that was on the brink of collapse. And so — so that took up a huge
amount of time in the first year."

Obama added that he did try early to find common ground on comprehensive
immigration reform with congressional Republicans. But he quickly
learned, he said, that even those who had supported such legislation
during the George W. Bush administration wouldn't agree to work with
him.

He promised to make another run at reform if he's re-elected. Asked by
someone over Facebook what would make matters any different assuming
Republicans held onto the House, Obama said:

OBAMA: "So my hope is that after the election, when the number-one goal
is no longer beating me but hopefully the number-one goal is solving the
country's problems, if they have seen that people who care about this
issue have turned out in strong numbers that they will rethink it, if
not because it's the right thing to do, at least because it's in their
political interest to do so."

Under Ramos' prodding, Obama admitted that immigration was his biggest failure.

This
prompted co-host Maria Elena Salinas to circle back to Ramos' earlier
effort to get Obama to admit that he had broken his promise on
immigration.

SALINAS: (Through interpreter.) "Yes, as you said, that's your biggest
failure. And Jorge asked you if you consider that you broke your
promise. So I think that the answer is yes, with many excuses that you
actually broke your promise."

Obama didn't agree or disagree, but said he was "running for a second
term because we've still got more work to do." That line drew some of
the longest applause of the session from an audience filled with
Democrats.

Asked by Salinas to address
suspicions that his executive action, just months before Election Day,
to defer deportation proceedings against young undocumented immigrants
was done to get the Hispanic vote, Obama said:

OBAMA: "Well, I — I think if you take a look at the polls, I was winning
the Latino vote before we took that action, partly because the other
side had completely abandoned their commitment to things like
comprehensive immigration reform."

With the fallout still hanging in the air from Romney's comments at a
May fundraiser, Ramos asked Obama if he thought the Republican candidate
who made the "47 percent" comment — or the one who said Wednesday on
Univision that his campaign is about the "100 percent" — is the "true
Romney?"

OBAMA: "You know, I think your question, Jorge, about what's the real
Mitt Romney is better directed at Mr. Romney. But I will say this: You
know, when you — when you express an attitude that half the country
consider itself victims, that somehow they want to be dependent on
government, my thinking is maybe you haven't gotten around a lot,
because I travel around the country all the time, and — and the American
people are the hardest-working people there are. And their problem is
not their problem is not that they're not working hard
enough or they don't want to work or they're being taxed too little or
they just want to loaf around and — and gather government checks."

Obama also offered a variation of a line he used earlier in the week on the Late Show with David Letterman.

OBAMA: "I've been president now for almost four years. But the day I was
elected, that night in Grant Park, where I spoke to the country, I said
47 percent of the people didn't vote for me, but I've heard your
voices, and I'm going to work just as hard for you as I did for those
who did vote for me. That's how you have to operate as a president. I — I
truly believe that."

When the discussion turned to Fast and Furious, Ramos asked the
president if Attorney General Holder shouldn't be fired even if he
didn't know about the program. Guns from the program were found at the
scene of a murdered U.S. Border Patrol agent in 2010.

OBAMA: "I will tell you that Eric Holder has my complete confidence
because he has shown himself to be willing to hold accountable those who
took these actions and is passionate about making sure that we're
preventing guns from getting into the wrong hands."
