Reporter: Did Obama Make Immig. Announcement on Facebook as Thanks to Zuckerberg?

EARNEST: “The president announced that he is going to deliver an address to the nation tomorrow night where he’ll be laying out the details of his executive action to repair our broken immigration system.”
GOLER: “Was that a thank you to Zuckerberg [indecipherable]?”
EARNEST: “I’m sorry?"
GOLER: “Was that a thank you to Zuckerberg [indecipherable]?”
EARNEST: “No. I think this was an opportunity for us to reach, you know, hundreds of thousands if not millions of people, and under an hour, the video reached more than 1.2 million users on Facebook. 227.000 people have viewed it and other 12.000 have shared it. So this is a pretty effective way of the president communicating with the American public about his intention to try to take the steps that he believes are necessary to fix as much of the broken immigration system as possible. The president also mentioned in that video he intends to travel to Las Vegas, Nevada, on Friday. He’ll be speaking at Del Sol high school in Las Vegas. Many of you have been to Del Sol high school because you covered a speech that the president gave there back in January of 2013 where he laid out the principles that he believes should be incorporated into any sort of bipartisan compromise, common sense immigration reform proposal. You also recall the United States Senate passed such proposal in bipartisan fashion in the summer of 2013. And we’ve been waiting ever since for House Republicans to block their opposition and allow that piece of legislation to come up for a vote in the House. One last thing I’ll mention before I get to your questions is prior to delivering this speech tomorrow night, the president will be hosting a dinner tonight at the White House for some Democrats from the House and Senate to talk through this immigration executive action that he’s preparing to take as well as a couple of other priorities that he sees on the horizon.”
