it's all politics. They must have some kind of deal, wht bills he can accomplished and wht not. I guess he gave up on the dream act, as d dreamers do not vote but gays do. Now, he has to show some loyality to his fellow dems. too. As they lost big time due to his stubborn healthcare bill, which this ungrateful public didn't even wanted it. Two damn years he wasted on it and now other two years to repeal it. WOWWWW!!!! what a smart asssssss.
