Bret Baier has an exclusive interview with President Obama on Fox News Special Report tonight at 6:00. Parts of the pre-recorded segment were
revealed earlier today:
President Obama is not worried about the "procedural" debate over whether House Democratic leaders should go ahead with a plan to approve health care reform without a traditional vote, he told Fox News on Wednesday.
The president, in an interview with Fox News' Bret Baier, was responding for the first time to the controversy over a plan to use a parliamentary trick to allow the House to pass the Senate's health care bill without forcing members to vote for it directly. The esoteric procedure has drawn fierce protest from Republicans who say Democrats are trying to avoid accountability, but the president said there will be no doubt about where lawmakers stand on health care reform.
"I don't spend a lot of time worrying about what the procedural rules are in the House or Senate," Obama said. "What I can tell you is that the vote that's taken in the House will be a vote for health care reform. And if people vote yes, whatever form that takes, that is going to be a vote for health care reform. And I don't think we should pretend otherwise. And if they don't, if they vote against it, then they're going to be voting against health care reform and they're going to be voting in favor of the status quo.
The President's airy confidence that his health care bill will pass, is betrayed by the fact that he is giving an exclusive interview to the evil Fox News Channel after postponing his trip to Indonesia and spending an entire day trying to flip the vote of the most liberal member of Congress, Rep. Dennis Kucinich.
