Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) told reporters today that Democrats should take a “breather” on health care reform, the Associated Press reports.
Democrats should “maybe take a breather for a month, six weeks” and focus on other issues, Dodd said today.
Yesterday, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said President Obama wants to let the “dust settle” in Congress after Sen.-elect Scott Brown (R-MA) won a special election.
“There’s plenty of work for the president to do in the meantime,” Gibbs said.
