No this is not a Romney cheer section but the President
believes he can get immigration done in the next 4 years if re-elected.
Quote:
Mr. Obama told Scherer that in addition to getting the nation's fiscal house in order, there are a handful of other big issues he expects to be addressed in the next four years.
"I think we can get immigration reform done. The time is right for it," he said. "We used to have bipartisan support for it. That will continue to be a top priority for me."
He also said Washington should be able to make "a lot more progress" when it comes to energy policy. On top of that, he said the government should focus on rebuilding infrastructure and government reform.
The president said that if he is re-elected, he expects Republicans to cooperate with him more.
"I believe that in a second term, where Mitch McConnell's imperative of making me a one-term President is no longer relevant, they recognize that what the American people are looking for is for us to get things done," he said. "So my expectation is that there will be some popping of the blister after this election."
