Since "cap and tax " has already passed the House of Represetatives ;and the Democrats are looking to find creative ways to pay for last week's boondoggle . The President may just give lip service to Immigration while he concentrates on whipping the Senate into passing a version of "climate change" legislation.
Sen John "Lurch" Kerry and Senator Barbara "Hinden-Boxer" * took the lead in writing the Senate version of cap and tax(oops.. I mean "pollution reduction and investment" program).

Kerry said "In the wake of health care's passage, we have a strong case to make that this can be the next breakthrough legislative fight,"
And unlike the Health care legislation ,they won't have to worry about getting enough votes to break a fillibuster as there are some Republicans like McCain ,Collins ,Snowe,"Goober" Graham who support this job killer .

The unknown is how many Democrat Senators who represent industrial states will be whipped into line .
The other agenda items he might pursue is the 'card check ' that would eliminate the right to a secret ballot for union workers.
Or Steve points out that the President may take the Dodd banking reform plan and run with it .
