On the eve of the House of Representatives' vote on health reform, President Obama visited the Capitol, where he spoke about tomorrow's unique opportunity for representatives to make history and deliver real change for the American people.
The President quoted Abraham Lincoln in his closing argument:
We are not bound to win, but we are bound to be true. We are not bound to succeed, but we are bound to let whatever light we have shine.
We have been debating health care for decades.
It now has been debated for a year.
It is in your hands.
It is time to pass health care reform for America, and I am confident that you are going to do it tomorrow.
Thank you very much, House of Representatives. Let's get this done.
