he would make clear that he is very much behind one of the immigration bills that the leadership has on the table and he effectively said he supports both of these bills. what does that mean? according to multiple members coming out of the meeting, they didn't think he moved the ball very much. one member said it was uneventful. if the president is coming to rally members to support legislation, uneventful is not the term you want used to describe it. having said that, there is some hope among the republicans who are pushing this broad immigration bill that at least his presence here could help. the other side to that is i talked to one member who remembered the president saying he was behind a big spending bill. this member voted for it, only for the president to, in the words of this member, throw them under the bus.
