President Barack Obama is trying to gather support from lawmakers that were threatening a stalemate similar to what happened when Bill Clinton tried to push through a health care overhaul in the 1990s.
"We will have enough votes to pass a good health care bill. But only if I can get those in the Democrat Party to stop worrying about things like reelection, deficits, their constituents, all of that stuff keeping them from voting yes," Obama said in an interview broadcast Sunday on CBS' "60 Minutes.”
To aid President Barack Obama in passing a bill the White House has announced a new advisor on matters of health care – the “Biz Czar.” This new position will utilize a celebrity from the entertainment business. To fill the position the President has selected rapper Kanye West.
“Kanye is the right guy for the job. He just does not care who he pisses off. Did you see what he did to that little white girl at the VMA’s? We want him to walk into Congress, grab the mike from Nancy (Pelosi) and just “go off”.
Obama was asked why he was so passionate about this bill.
"I'm the one who's going to be held responsible," Obama said. "So I best get it right. Dam, that Beyonce is fine! I’d put a ring on that!" Obama told CBS. "Oh, snap, what the hell am I sayin’? I gotta stop doin cognac shots with Kanye!”
