Why did Obama kill the McCain Kennedy immigration reform bill?

McCain-Kennedy Immigration Reform Bill; Bill S.1639 ; vote number 2007-235 on Jun 28, 2007

Just because the unions said they didn't want a guest worker program?

And why didn't he do immigration reform in the first year like he promised on the campaign trail when he had control of both houses. Maybe because the unions don't want a guest worker program?
