Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele is sticking with his cow on the tracks metaphor.

“Moo moo!” he cried Thursday night at a form at the University of Akron, according to audio taped by the Akron Beacon Journal.

Steele had been asked about his original cow-on-the-tracks moment. On Wednesday, after a Fox anchor said the health care reform train has “already left the station,” Steele said:

“Well, I’m the cow on the tracks. You’re gonna have to stop that train to get this cow off the track to move forward,” Steele said. “They told us in June that there would be a health care bill on the president’s desk on Aug. 1. I think our efforts helped change that dynamic, and our efforts this fall will continue to change that dynamic.”

Video after the jump.

At the forum in Akron, he also told reporters that he doesn’t want to see health care reform done this year.

Steele said he hopes passing health-care legislation this year ”doesn’t become a reality in the current context…”
