Listening to his response, he sounds removed from the Dream Act and has it very low on his priority list. I like the language he used. He is genuine about used to being a sponsor, which tells me that he isn't genuine about passing the Dream Act. He would have said "I was the sponsor" or "I sponsored the bill" if he felt somewhat connected to the DA.
CIR is NOT going to pass. Not with Democrats as majority nor minority. CIR is NOT going to pass. To me, based on the way Obama phrased it, it sounds like the DA will not pass this year or anytime in the near future.
So make plans in your life accordingly.
