In a Rose Garden health care speech this afternoon, President Obama reiterated a couple of key themes–that the House and Senate need to pass legislation before they break for recess in August, and that the White House isn’t going to keep quiet until that time.
“We are going to be continually talking about this for the next two or three weeks until we’ve got a bill out of the Senate and we’ve got a bill out of the House,” Obama said. “Then we’ll deserve a few weeks rest before we come back and finally get a bill doen so we can sign it right here in the Rose Garden.”
It seems as if the White House will be a constant presence in the lives of the senators and congressmen responsible for completing legislation until they make good on their commitments. See, for instance, his network news interviewed scheduled to air tonight.
