Obama's Chicago friends take a shot at predicting the president-elect's priorities

Chicago lawyers who have known President-Elect Barack Obama for years and supported his quick rise in American politics expect his legislative priorities will focus on healthcare, immigration and education. When Chicago attorney Manny Sanchez, who leads the firm Sanchez, Daniels & Hoffman, invited a group of neighbors in his Republican-leaning suburb to support Obama's run for the Senate in 2004, they agreed to pay the $500 to attend, but said he shouldn't expect them to vote for a Democrat with a strange name like Barack Obama. Now, Sanchez says those same neighbors are taking the photos Sanchez forced them to pose for with the candidate and enlarging them for prominent places in their homes. Sanchez has known Obama for 11 years and this year helped raise $10 million from the Hispanic business community for his friend's campaign. Obama is likely to push hard during his first year in office for "comprehensive immigration reform" that will let some 12 million undocumented residents stay in the U.S. if they pay a fine and show they haven't been involved in criminal activity, Sanchez said. Obama recognizes many of these people are hard-working individuals who should be allowed to pursue citizenship, he said.

I suspect his lawyer friends are pretty much on target. But, what they don’t know is that Obama considers these “pedestrian” items on his way to a much larger plan for the world.

Im sure this Obama crony is right when he says Immigration is at the top of Obama’s list. Amnesty for millions of illegals solidifies the Rat vote for decades.

Now we will find out the difference between what Obama the candidate mouthed off about, and what Obama the President will actually do. I think it is all downhill for a while.

They know it. It’s all part of their process.
