From Chuck Todd, Mark Murray, and Domenico Montanaro*** Health care heats up: After returning from his long overseas trip (or was it short, considering he hit three continents in less than a week, four if you count North America?), President Obama turns his attention to domestic politics -- particularly health care. Sunday’s New York Times reported that Obama plans to take a greater role in drafting the legislation by giving speeches, holding town halls (first one is Thursday in Green Bay), and meeting more with congressional lawmakers. As we’ve written before, the two big issues to resolve: whether reform will contain a public option (a la Medicare and Medicaid), and how Washington will pay for it (taxing the rich or taxing health-benefit plans?). Obama devoted his weekly Saturday address -- even while he was overseas -- to the topic of health care. “All across America, our families are making hard choices when it comes to health care,” he said. “Now, it’s time for Washington to make the right ones. It’s time to deliver.” However, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R), the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee took offense to Obama’s radio address. “Pres Obama you got nerve while u sightseeing in Paris to tell us ‘time to deliver’ on health care. We still on skedul/even workinWKEND,” he said via Twitter, later adding: “Pres Obama while u sightseeing in Paris u said ‘time to delivr on healthcare’ When you are a ‘hammer’ u think evrything is NAIL I'm no NAIL.”
