Gibbs: Still Committed to Bipartisanship

President Obama may not be kicking Chuck Grassley and other Republicans off the health-care wagon just yet: White House press secretary Robert Gibbs denied reports that the Obama administration and congressional Democrats are giving up on a bipartisan health-care reform bill. “Absolutely not,” Gibbs said. “We continue to be hopeful that we can get bipartisan support and will continue to work with those that are interested in doing that… Our goal is to get this done in a bipartisan way. There are several more weeks to go in potential negotiations between Republicans and Democrats. I don’t know why we would short-circuit any of that now.”
