As we know, President Obama has announced that immigration reform will have to take its place in line behind a sputtering economy and a faltering war.
At the risk of showing off, or lapsing into complete egomania, I will now quote myself. Months ago, I wrote that, in the near future “not much will come of the new president’s apparently sincere desire to make this country a better place for immigrants. There simply isn’t the bandwidth.”
I would like to think that this means that I am smarter, or at the very least, display psychic abilities. In truth, it just means that I made an educated lucky guess, or I’m just more cynical than other commentators.
But let’s not beat up on the president too much over his reprioritization. He still has three years in which to help right-wingers morph into irrational fear mongers with bulging carotid arteries who lash out at anyone who disagrees with them. Of course, when immigration reform happens, it will make the healthcare melee look like a junior high debate.

A lot of things seem to be falling further in this line of the President’s. But I thought that was what cabinet members and what not are for. Surely he has assembled a team top notch enough that he can tackle more than two problems at a time–no matter how big those two problems seem to be.
