This afternoon, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs announced in an email that President Obama ” held 64 meetings or phone calls with Members of Congress on health insurance reform.”

Gibbs even sent around a photo, seen at left, of Obama making one of those calls while en route to George Mason University today for what could be his last health care reform rally.

It seems the White House is already staking a claim on the credit for health care reform, a signal that the administration is pretty sure the bill will pass this weekend.
