President Obama vowed Tuesday that he would pursue an immigration reform vote in the House the "day after" Congress reached an agreement to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling.

"Once that’s done, you know, the day after -- I’m going to be pushing to say, call a vote on immigration reform," Obama told Univision's Los Angeles affiliate. "And if I have to join with other advocates and continue to speak out on that, and keep pushing, I’m going to do so because I think it’s really important for the country. And now is the time to do it."

The president reiterated his claim that the only thing holding back passage of the Senate's immigration bill is "Speaker Boehner not willing to call the bill on the floor of the House of Representatives."

Earlier this month, House Democrats introduced their own version of an immigration bill in an attempt to spur Republican action after it appeared that momentum had stalled for immigration reform. The bill largely mirrors the Senate effort, while stripping out some border security provisions added to win Senate GOP votes.

I wouldn't get yourself overly worked up over it. There's no guarantee you'll win, and defeat after hyping yourself up is a harder crash than defeat on its own.

... and the day after that he's finally going to close Guantanamo, than after that - peace between Jews and Arabs.

And on the 7th day he'll rest.

How do you even know Hillary is going to run? The woman is almost 70. If she ran and won, she'd be almost 80 by the time she finished her second term. Reagan had dementia at 69, like most old people.

All parties that have at least somewhat of a basis in the people go through their periods of division between competing ideas. The GOP went through another schism like this in the 1960s, between the Goldwaters and the Rockefellers. The Rockefellers won and the Goldwaters eventually formed the Libertarian Party in the 1970s.

Now, it's a schism between the Pauls and the McCains. It will be interesting to see who wins out.

Dude. Why are you slandering the elderly? Also, I'd like to see the stats that support your claim that most old people have dementia.

It's not a slam on the elderly, and I have no stats. It was an exaggeration.
