WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama indicated Wednesday that he does not oppose plans by House Democrats to pass his much-challenged health care overhaul without a direct vote.
"I don't spend a lot of time worrying about what the procedural rules are in the House or Senate. What I can tell you is that the vote that's taken in the House will be a vote for health care reform," Obama said in an interview with Fox News.
"If people vote yes, whatever form that takes, that is going to be a vote for health care reform," he said in an excerpt of the interview to be aired later Wednesday evening. "And I don't think we should pretend otherwise."

I find it amusing (and pathetic) that some people use this forum solely as a vehicle to vent against President Obama. Does the President really irritate them that much? Perhaps they should focus on something else. Seriously. A 15-minute break might do them some good.
