The Republicans are already firing back at the news that President Obama will give a speech on health care to a joint session of Congress next week. NRCC communications director Ken Spain sent out this statement to reporters:
“The White House and Congressional Democrats lost the month of August, and with it public opinion. Lecturing members of the United States Congress is not the answer to the Democrats’ growing political problems, dumping their plans for a healthcare takeover is. We know the President can give a great speech, the question is whether or not he can hold his own party together.”
