Appearing at Univision candidate forum Thursday, Presdient Obama was repeatedly asked about his 2008 promise to complete comprehensive immigration reform in his first year in office. Obama declined to say he had broken his promise, pinning the blame to achieve comprehensive reform on Republican intransigence.

“I haven’t gotten everything done that I wanted to get done,” Obama said. “And that’s why I’m running for a second term.”
