Gibbs Won't Say If Obama Will Read Entire Health Care Bill
At one of his recent town hall meetings, President Obama said he would gladly welcome members of Congress to the White House to read through health care legislation "line-by-line."
Today, however, Robert Gibbs was less than clear on whether Obama would in fact read through a final bill in its entirety on his own.
"I assume the president will study the details of the proposal," the press secretary said. "He's a highly-informed individual."
He also joked that he didn't know what the president's "vacation plans are." After moving to take another question he -- perhaps realizing the potential pitfall -- backtracked quickly to challenge the reporter if he planned to read the entire bill, as well.
