National Council of la Raza Wants to Remind Obama About Something

Seems like the National Council of la Raza is starting a new action center and at the heart of it is reminding President Obama about all those promises he made in order to earn the Latino vote, especially his promises on immigration reform.
The launch of this action network comes ahead of NCLR’s National Advocacy days, today and Thursday in D.C., where Congressmen Menendez and Gutierrez are slated to speak to 300 leaders from 30 states and DC. The message is accountability and holding representatives accountable for promises made and for addressing the needs of the communities they try to represent.
The promo above doesn’t exactly call Obama a liar, but rather says he must have forgotten because he’s been so busy.
What do people think? Did Obama forget or did he just throw immigrants under the bus? What about Congressmen Gutierrez and Melendez who have introduced immigration proposals that are a step up from the current criminalization and detention heavy policies but still have a long way to go on being really representative of our the entire immigrant community.
