Maybe Obama shouldn’t talk about a path to citizenship in the SOTU
Seven in 10 people in the survey said they would support a path to citizenship, including 60 percent of Republicans. But when the same question was asked of a separate sample of respondents, this time with Obama’s name attached to it, support dropped to 59 percent overall and just 39 percent among Republicans.
On other hot-button issues like banning the sale of semi-automatic assault weapons or ending the war in Afghanistan, however, lending Obama’s name to the proposal made each viewed more favorably — and therefore if he were to put his political weight behind them it could actually increase their chances of passing. On doing something about climate change, there was no noticeable movement.

I know where this is going.
Racist. Want to see Obama fail because we can not stand seeing a black man as pressy.
Who are these conservatives anyways? All from the east of west coast?

Yes, why should obama push amnesty when he has “progressives” like Rubio to do it for him?

Does it matter what he says?
he does what he wants and nobody takes him to task for it. Not even even those that have a constructional duty to do so.
