Obama Predicts Passage of Gun Control, Immigration Reform 
----------------------------------------------------------


 
The push for reforming gun control comes as President Obama is also
seeking an overhaul of the nation's immigration laws. In an interview
with the Spanish-language network Univision, Obama said he is confident
that both efforts can be achieved.

President Obama: "I'm actually optimistic that we can get both done.
Both will end up generating some opposition, and some strong opposition.
There will be passions on both sides, but I am generally encouraged that
the Senate seems to be having a serious conversation about these
issues."
