This doesn't make him the worst president just because he hasn't favored our agenda, we know it was the president before him. Either way, I think most of us are just too bitter because nothing has happened. I m sure something is due to happen, the people at capitol hill know this issue won't go away if nothing is done. Either way, all of us should have a back up plan just in case shit starts to hit the fan, and by that I mean someone else besides Obama gets elected in 2012.

If Obama wins in 2012, everyone here just forget about the Dream Act or CIR. He'll continue to blame the GOP. Better start calling Sessions in that case! I'm sure we can convince him!

^^This. If you're in your late 20s and early 30s, then it may be time to move on. I'm in my mid 20s and I have an exit strategy. I love this country and would rather not leave, but that doesn't mean I won't do it.

We're all entitled to be aggravated, upset, disappointed or angry, but the harsh reality is that Obama is our last hope if we want anything done any time soon. We've seen what the Republicans want to do to us and our families. And that isn't a pretty picture, to say the least.

I don't know about you guys, but I'd just rather there not be a Republican sitting in the White House considering the extreme views that some of them have when it comes to us .

Arizona
Republican Jon Kyl, three terms Retiring
Arizona has voted solidly Republican in recent elections.
However, the growing Latino population and anger over Republican proposals to cut Medicare and Social Security could influence voting enough to elect a Democratic senator.


Massachusetts
Republican Scott Brown
•Massachusetts is a solidly Democratic state, one that in recent decades, has rarely elected Republicans to Congress.
Many liberals in Massachusetts deeply resent that Republican Sen. Brown won, in a special election, the seat held by the late Democratic stand-bearer Sen. Ted Kennedy for four decades. They seek to restore this Senate seat to a Democrat.


Montana
Democrat Jon Tester,
•With certain notable exceptions, Montana voters lean Republican more than Democratic.
•Montana voters supported Republican McCain over Democrat Obama in the 2008 presidential race. President Obama is not popular in the Big Sky Country state.


Nebraska
Democrat Ben Nelson
Tea Party Republicans have targeted Sen. Ben Nelson for defeat in 2012, exhorting "Nelson traded his principles, our freedoms and liberties, and the quality of our nation's healthcare system–all for $100 million for Nebraska. Nelson is a Democrat elected in a conservative 'Red State' and he seemed to think he could buy off votes for his re-election."

Nevada
Republican Dean Heller. Appointed in May 2011 to replace retiring Sen. John Ensign
•Nevada is a classic red/blue bipartisan state, with staunch conservative libertarian and liberal labor union factions.
• Sen. Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader, hails from Nevada, and has considerable influence with a large segment of voters, particularly Hispanics who comprise 26.5% of all Nevadans.


North Dakota
Democrat Kent Conrad
North Dakota has voted solidly Republican in recent elections. Also, President Obama is not popular in North Dakota, presently one of the nation's most prosperous states.
With the retirement of Democratic incumbent Sen. Conrad in 2012, pundits expect Democrats won't again be elected to Congress from North Dakota for many years.



Texas
Republican Kay Hutchinson, three terms Retiring
red-state Texas has voted solidly Republican for several decades.
However, the growing Latino population and revulsion at social and educational engineering by conservative Christians could influence voting enough to elect a Democratic senator.


AND my personal prediction is the GOP keeps the house but lose alot of those crazy tea bag members because of the whole proposals to cut Medicare and Social Security and holding the debt ceiling hostage thing
But when it comes to immigration, Democrats really don't have the senate until they have a filibuster proof majority. They're clearly not doing away with this filibuster crap any time soon.

We're basically in a "catch 22" situation, because on one end, if Obama is reelected, we're not guaranteed that the DA will pass, for all we know he might kick us to the side especially since he won't need votes from our communities anymore. On the Republican side of things, it's a shame that most of the loudest Republican voices cater to very harsh and frankly inhumane punishments for the undocumented.

I definitely do not want to keep waiting here indefinitely for a Green Card, it's not worth the trouble.

This. Even if Obama gets elected and wants to pass immigration reform, nothing will happen because Republicans are completely against any form of legalization. He has made it clear that he will not issue any executive orders related to immigration. In order for legalization to take place, a bill must pass senate and house. There is no other way for DA to pass so with Republicans in power, it seems very unlikely.

I think it's time to be hopeful and although I don't want to sound like DA user, but I really do believe something will get passed in the next 2-3 years. Yes, I might get flamed on. But at least I'm hopeful.
I am with you. Being hopeful is what keeps me going. Being depressed will just make things worse.
