Obama might tackle comprehensive immigration reform: isn't his plate too full?

[Bluebear]

Just last week we were informed that "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" has to be "kicked down the road" because Obama's plate is too full.... interesting that immigration reform finds room on the Chinet platter.

(CNN) -- Word that President Obama might pile comprehensive immigration reform onto his already-full plate reignited calls from some for an urgent overhaul and brought cries from others that the timing couldn't be worse.

"It's more important than ever to address immigration reform right now," said Ian Haney Lopez, a professor of law at the University of California-Berkeley.

The financial and cultural dynamics of the economy make reform so urgent, he said.

"I worry that in the context of an economic downturn, the cultural response of that economic downturn will be to search for someone to blame, and that someone usually turns out to be a foreigner or someone perceived as foreigner," he said.

1. No he won't

Just another stupid rumor driven my anonymous sources (i.e. cowards) that was jumped on by the idiot media.

3. Or Maybe He's Too OverExposed?

Maybe he should stand up when his critics want him to sit down? Maybe he's taking on more than he can chew? Maybe he's doing too much?

Or...maybe these critics have nothing valid to say about the content of the issues so they pretend to appoint themselves as judges of how much is just the right amount on someone's plate? Or how much exposure is just right? As if anyone could even agree on such things or as if this type of vapid criticism is so generic is seems you can toss it at anyone you want, anytime you want.
