they were laughing at him, not with him
"By the end of the program, Obama had been hammered into submission on his immigration reform promise. Asked what he considers his biggest failure, he turned to Ramos. "Jorge, as you remind me, my biggest failure so far is we haven't gotten comprehensive immigration reform done yet," he said to laughter from the audience,
adding it wasn't for lack of trying."
Obama: Immigration Reform Inaction Was 'Biggest Failure'
"I don't want it to get lost in translation," Ramos said, switching briefly into English in an otherwise Spanish-language interview. "You promised. And a promise is a promise. With all due respect, you didn't keep that promise."
Obama replied that he takes responsibility for that failure,
but denied he made such a promise -- a claim he also made recently to Spanish news agency Agencia Efe.
Obama has been accused of using immigration for politics, particularly after he announced his deferred action policy so close to the election.
He dismissed that idea.
are you noticing a pattern here?????
