Obama Executive Omissions Leave Some Allies Angry

For some White House allies, the long list of executive actions President Barack Obama announced in his State of the Union address was marred by a few glaring omissions. And some immigration overhaul supporters were disappointed that he did not act on his own to halt deportations, which have soared during his presidency and angered many Hispanics. On both issues, White House officials say the place for action is Congress, where successful legislation would be far more sweeping than steps the president could take on his own.
