Let's go to the tape.

This is after President Obama has been hammered in the interview about not getting immigration reform passed...

Quote:
Something different, something personal. I don’t know what you’re reading before going to sleep right now. I don’t know if you have already read the book “No Easy Day,” in which a Navy SEAL tells the story of how Osama bin Laden was killed. According to many, his death was your biggest achievement. What is your biggest failure?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, Jorge, as you remind me, my biggest failure so far is we haven’t gotten comprehensive immigration reform done. (Laughter.) So we’re going to be continuing to work on that. (Applause.) But it’s not for lack of trying or desire, and I’m confident we’re going to accomplish that.
I applaud you for recognizing my keen insight, but to be honest, had you actually read the transcript (as you said you did) you would have known this for yourself.
