Obama Second Term Agenda: Immigration Reform and Mideast Peace
July 15, 2012

In an interview with WJLA the ABC Washington affiliate:

“I have not been able to move the peace process forward in the Middle East the way I wanted,” he said in an interview with WJLA, the ABC affiliate in Washington, D.C. “It’s something we focused on very early. But the truth of the matter is, that the parties, they’ve got to want it as well.”

Obama also pointed to strengthening the economy and passing comprehensive immigration reform as goals for a second term. “We’ve got a lot of work to do, especially in rebuilding our middle class here in this country but ultimately it’s going to require people coming together and Congress working with the executive branch.”
