Emmaunel didn't want to waste political capital on that at all)
I assume that after all that drama, she's been stepping a bit from the political game so as not to be called the second coming of hillary clinton. At the end of the day Obama is calculating, power driven, and determined to stay in power, thus I doubt an EO is coming soon any time at all, if ever.

I agree with you that she's not really into the whole political game, I recall people talking about that a while back. However, the first lady has
a lot of power, for starters, she has her husband's ear at the end of the day, and if she makes this issue a priority of hers I'm sure he'll listen to her.
If Obama wants to win in November, it'll be wise to sign an EO for Dreamers so that our US Citizen relatives (like my entire family) will be motivated to go out and vote for him like they did in 2008.
