The AP previews (or should I say โrewinds againโ?):
WASHINGTON โ With the fate of his signature legislative initiative far from certain, President Barack Obama is taking his last-ditch push for health care reform on the road.
In a speech Monday in Philadelphia, Obama will try to persuade the public to back his plan to remake the nationโs health care system, while also urging uneasy lawmakers to cast a โfinal voteโ for a massive reform bill in an election year.
Obamaโs pitch in Philadelphia, along with a stop in St. Louis Wednesday, comes as the president begins an all-out effort to pass his health care proposals. Though his plan has received only modest public support, Obama has implored lawmakers to show political courage and not let a historic opportunity slip away.
Same pitch, new day.
Tevi Troy predicts a 35-percent chance of passage. Senator Barrasso urges you call your representatives today. This is not a done deal. If it were, President Obama wouldnโt have to try again today.
