The President talks to congress, America
Tonight, the president will appear before a joint session of Congress?perhaps the grandest setting for such an event?and deliver a speech on the need for health care reform. Among those watching will be Congressmen and Senators, but far beyond the halls of Congress, he will also be addressing Brad Bynum in Oklahoma and Faith Dow in California. As Americans who are still unconvinced on health care reform, they are who President Obama really needs to convince in his speech.
We also talk to New York Times White House correspondent Sheryl Gay Stolberg about what might be in the president’s speech tonight.
