Obama’s State of the Union: Immigration? Gays in the military?
Jan 26, 2010- USA Today
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs confirmed a few more subjects that may surface in the State of the Union tomorrow night, including immigration and gays in the military — but he provided few details and noted that the address is still being edited.
“Let’s wait for tomorrow’s speech,” Gibbs said at one point.
The spokesman did say that Obama would mention immigration, but added that it’s up to Congress to get the ball rolling on new legislation. Gibbs said, “we’ve started a process on this,” and if Congress can put together “a coalition to get the way forward, then it’s something we’ll work through.”
