WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama said today that the Hispanic community can continue to count on him as the strongest of advocates for comprehensive immigration reform but that it doesn’t depend solely on him, and added that it doesn’t help the debate “by perpetrating the notion that somehow, by myself, I can go and do these things."Obama also said that he is sure that “within my lifetime we will have a Latino candidate for President who is very competitive and may win.” He urged the Hispanic community to match their growth in numbers with votes, because by increasing their participation at the polls “both parties will respond to the demands of Latinos.”During a “virtual roundtable” at the White House, at which AOL Latino/Huffington Post Latino Voices, Yahoo and MSN Latino participated, the president answered direct questions from readers on topics of interest to the Latino community: immigration reform, unemployment, health care, Social Security, diplomatic relations with Mexico, the crisis in drug and weapons trafficking, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the power of the Latino vote, and even the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).Read More...
