Robert Gibbs: The Health Bill Will Soon Be The “Law Of The Land”

Well this is an interesting soundbite. Appearing on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs made a rather bold claim. When asked if the president now believes if he has the votes to pass health care, Gibbs avowed, “Chris, we’ll have the votes when the House votes within the next week.” He further proclaimed that next week we will be talking about health care reform not as a proposal, but something that “will soon be the law of the land.”

The show first aired this morning at 9AM, but will re-air today at 2PM EDT.
