Quote:
WASHINGTON -- As a junior senator from Illinois, Barack Obama played only a minor role in the 2007 battle for immigration reform, but the experience informs his approach to the current debate and casts a light on just how complex an issue it is politically. Business community lobbyists who watched Obama work at the time recall a man pulled in a multitude of directions. As a budding presidential candidate, he had an incentive to get involved in the process, but no obvious incentive to see a bill pass with overly harsh provisions that could anger labor unions and some in the Latino community.

Today, Republicans are working to characterize President Obama's role in the last debate as unhelpful, laying the groundwork for the inevitable blame game to follow if the immigration effort fails this time around as well.
KENNEDY <3!!!!!!!!!
