I watched this live online today, and submitted a health care question (a more general one was asked). It was a live feed courtesy of Organizing for America:
President Barack Obama called Thursday for high-level talks with Republicans to work out a compromise on health care legislation, then putting the resulting bill to a vote in Congress.The crowd was chanting Yes We Can, and Prez O was in his "fired up" mode. Glimmers of hope are making a comeback."If Congress decides we're not going to do it, even after all the facts are laid out, after all the options are clear, then the American people can make a judgment as to whether this Congress has done the right thing for them or not," Obama said. "That's how democracy works."
Obama's comments were the first clear signal from the White House or Democrats in Congress on how they would proceed on a top legislative priority after losing their 60-seat super-majority in the Senate.
Much more here.
