with or without you

greg sargent thinks obama wrapped up today's health care summit with a fairly clear statement meant not only to rally democrats, but to clue republicans in to a simple fact: we're moving forward.

obama, summing up:

"I’d like Republicans to do a little soul searching to find out if there are some things that you’d be willling to embrace that get to this core problem of 30 million people without health insurance, and dealing seriously with the pre-existing conditions issue. I don’t know frankly whether we can close that gap.

And if we can’t close that gap, then I suspect Mitch McConnell, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner are going to have a lot of arguments about procedures in Congress about moving forward."
