但暂且不论奥巴马在与共和党议员谈判中要面临的挑战,目前还不清楚国会民主党议员对奥巴马的方案支持的热情有多高,特别是如果他的计划意味着要在美国联邦医疗保险(Medicare)和社会保险等福利项目的一贯立场上向共和党做出让步。民主党议员一直抱怨说,奥巴马主持的白宫很少接触他们,很多民主党众议员认为,奥巴马在近期的议会选举中没有花多大力气帮助他们。这种情绪可能不会使他接触两党议员的努力变得更容易。
Mr. Obama's promise in his victory speech early Wednesday that he would move forward on an overhaul of immigration laws was seconded later Wednesday by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.), who said immigration would be at the top of the Senate's agenda. 'The only thing we need, to get immigration reform done, are a few Republican votes,'' he said. 'I get 90% of the Democrats; couldn't we get a few Republicans to join us? So it's high on our list, and we're going to have some votes on it.'
奥巴马周三早间在胜选演讲中承诺,他将推进移民法的改革。周三晚些时候,参议院多数党领袖、内华达州民主党议员里德(Harry Reid)对此表示支持,他说移民问题将是参议院的首要任务。他说,要实现移民法的改革,我们唯一还缺的就是几张共和党的选票,我能确保获得90%的民主党议员的支持,我们难道不能让一些共和党议员也支持移民法改革吗?所以这是我们的首要任务,我们将在这个问题上进行几次投票。
