Q On immigration, is the administration growing more concerned that the cloture will fail?

MR. SNOW: Well, we'll find out. I mean, there's going to be a vote within an hour or so. We'll find out what's going on.

Q I mean, is he on the phone on the plane, or has he done anything this morning?

MR. SNOW: Well, we have been in contact with members of Congress over the last couple of days, and the President has made it clear that this is very important to him. This is an issue that everybody agrees is of national importance, and therefore it is a key test of leadership to see if Congress can respond to something that the public has said overwhelmingly it considers a priority and needs addressing.

Q Why not make clear who he's talking to and when? I mean, if it's so important to him, isn't he willing to say publicly how hard he's trying to get it -- make it happen?

MR. SNOW: Because we don't choose to share that information. It doesn't matter.

Q Sure it does.

MR. SNOW: Okay, well, I'm not answering it.

I want to know why the press corp isn't demanding to know why the White House is IGNORING the law, the constitution and playing like they are an emperial entity who has to account to no one! Press corp, you are doing a LOUSY job, we want them impeached for not unholding the Constitution! Do your job! Ask the HARD question, Stir up some , well you know, do your job!
