I agree Stringsinger -- but it has to be a realizable program, NOT political theater designed to make the other party appear responsible if it fails to obtain sufficient bi-partisan support to pass. This will be his ultimate leadership test, and will certainly make or break his chances for re-election (IMO). Regardless of the covert or overt racism (which I agree exists) -- the man is the President of the United States of America. He needs to cut the puppet strings, stand up, and lead -- or his opportunity to do so will end in 14 months.
