Obama promised that after four years of historically weak economic growth and an unemployment rate that's been stuck at or near 8% since he took office, he's going to turn his attention to job growth.

Hes toting carry-ons instead of heavy cargo this time. Failing to achieve a promised first-term overhaul of immigration law, Obama took stopgap executive action to help as many as 1.7 million younger illegal immigrants stay in the country, and now, after an election marked by Hispanic clout, finds the political landscape more amenable to trying again.
