I’m pretty sure he said the same thing about the now shelved Senate gun bill.

(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama said he’s “reasonably confident” that a bipartisan immigration bill will pass Congress. But that was before the Senate shot down the bipartisan gun bill for which he lobbied so hard.

In an interview recorded on Monday, but which aired Thursday on NBC’s “Today” show, Obama was asked how confident he is that he’ll get an immigration bill by the end of summer:

“You know, I’m actually reasonably confident on this one. I think that you’ve seen great work on a bipartisan basis between Democratic and Republican senators. So if you take that package together, one that’s supported by labor, that’s supported by business, that’s supported by advocacy groups, that’s supported by evangelical Christian groups, you know, this is about as broad-based a coalition as you’re going to get.”
