Obama to Give Congress Prescription for Health Care
The White House announced an addition to the president’s agenda next Wednesday; he will speak about health care reform before a joint session of Congress. Obama’s oration skills have long been considered one of his strengths, but pundits wonder if a few words from the bully pulpit can bring about agreement on the challenging health care bill. Joining us with a preview of what the president might say is Jay Newton-Small, Washington reporter for Time Magazine. We also speak to presidential historian Allan Lichtman, from American University, for a look at how presidents have waged their battles with Congress in recent decades.
