Obama vs. Rubio "gun control and immigration"

A defining legal battle is at hand. The first is Obama's battle for gun control. He has traveled the nation, gathered supporters, and putting victims front and center in his quest. Convincing the House of Representatives as well, will lead him further into his battle, entertaining his time and efforts. On the other battle front, we have Marco Rubio's fight for a bi-partisan immigration law. The two are simultaneously allying for different causes. Who will be success in their battles, is yet to be seen.

Obama has the support of many in his fight, and the distraction is much needed during a time when our economy continues to struggle, and enemies threatening our borders with nuclear weapons. Marco Rubio has chosen his battle, and will try hard to win it with bipartisan participation. They call them the "Gang of Eight."  Marco Rubio has made the network station rounds, and spoke on behalf of the main points to his proposed legislation, and the word is getting out. Mr. Rubio is making sure that he makes a name for himself during his senate tenure, in order to contrast Obama's one term as senator, where many criticized  him for his lack of attendance and leadership.

Although the battles are different, they may be one in the same. Democrat leader vs. Republican leader. Who can make legislation happen? Who works better through bipartisan means? Who is successful as a leader? Many Democratic law makers who come from rural districts, are hesitant to jump on board the gun control wagon. The immigration fight may be a better alternative. It can definitely help the Democrat in Capital Hill that needs to shy away from supporting the President's fight. Not only has Marco Rubio initiated his proposal through bipartisan means, he has also done it all with little water to drink at hand, much to the dismay of his opponents.

It is understood why the Democrats are desperately trying to start a similar gun control bill through the House of Representative and make the law pass quicker. Rubio is starting from the ground up in the Senate for his immigration bill, while the President is already resolving a possible bipartisan compromise in the Senate for his gun control bill. Rubio needs to do the same if he plans to succeed. In our legislative branch, we have a lot of "compromising", or "I'll do this, if you do that". By the time the gun control bill hits the House of Representatives, it will be harder for Rubio to get Democrat lawmaker votes for his immigration bill, "unless" some Republicans sign the gun control legislature; and the battles then are taken to war.
