Much like Lincoln, Obama had a penchant for using the powers granted him to protect and save the least of us, and he did those acts without fanfare.
My favorite was in the early part of his Presidency, Michelle visited a grade school and a third grade Hispanic student told her
My mom has no papers

Fox News had picked up that exchange and by the time Michele returned crying to the White House there was a hue and cry raised for Obama to deport the mother.
According to legend, Obama called his ICE director (who was also catching hell to deport her) and asked
How many undocumented immigrants do we estimate are here in this country?
11 million, Mr President
Good. I’m ordering you to discover who that little girl’s mother is, and after, you’ve deported all 11 million of the others like her first, bring me orders to deport her, and I’ll consider it then, and only then. Until then, she stays.
