Obama: Immigration Reform Not Likely This Year

I WANT it this year! I made plans to leave in about a month or two but now it's so confusing b/c no one is coming out and saying what a set timeline is. i wish obama would just say we're doing it in 2010 and none of this well no time in 2009 but it's not impssible blah blah i want it done this year blah blah.

Can someone point out where Obama specifically said immigration reform is not likely this year? The author of the article is just putting words in Obama's mouth. I feel like some in the media are intentionally putting out these articles to turn some immigration advocates against Obama.

^ I just read an article that basically correlates with what you just said. This is an excerpt

"The skeptics and naysayers have invoked a host of specious arguments to suggest that immigration reform can’t move forward this Congress; they claim that the president isn’t committed, the economy is a roadblock, and the public doesn’t support it. Yet events from the last 48 hours should drive those skeptics out of the mainstream and into the margins. Not only can immigration go forward this year, it must go forward."
