From Obama, February 2010:

^"We cannot have another year-long debate about this," he said, rejecting Republican calls to scrap the Democrats' legislation. "So the question that I'm going to ask myself and I ask of all of you is, is there enough serious effort that in a month's time or a few weeks' time or six weeks' time we could actually resolve something?"^

^"And if we can't, then I think we've got to go ahead and make some decisions," the president said, "and then that's what elections are for."^

^Concluded the president: "We have honest disagreements about - about the vision for the country and we'll go ahead and test those out over the next several months till November. All right?"^

K-pow!
