In a yet to air interview, President Obama obliquely puts Senate Finance Committee Republicans on notice that, though their efforts at bipartisanship are appreciated, they’d better bear fruit soon.
“I am glad that in the Senate Finance Committee, there have been a couple of Republicans–Chuck Grassley, Mike Enzi, Olympia Snowe–who have been willing to negotiate with Democrats to try to produce a bill. But they haven’t yet. And I think at some point, sometime in September, we’re just going to have to make an assessment.”
That won’t please Enzi, who insists he’s committed to no deadline whatsoever. But at least he can’t say Democrats didn’t warn him.
