WASHINGTON -President Barack Obama says it's now up to the Senate to take the baton from the House and pass a bill aimed at overhauling the nation's health care system.
The House narrowly passed a health care bill Saturday night. The Senate has yet to schedule a debate on its version of health care legislation, and Republicans are pledging to stop the Democratic measure from passing Congress.
Obama gave a brief statement on the health care initiative in the Rose Garden on Sunday after returning from the presidential retreat at Camp David.
The president says he's confident the Senate will pass a health care bill. He assured senators they will join House members in looking back on the passage of health care reform as their finest moment in public service.

Obama says : The American people have gone through a very tough year," he told CNN. "My job as president is to help navigate through this tough year. And people who don't have a job right now, people who have lost their home, I would be mad, too. And they expect me to do something about it. " .......... Well DUH we been waiting for you to do something about it. But NOOOOOOO instead you go on a F%$^&*^ Spending spree going on a world tour apologizing for America ! So now your back from your most recent spending spree to China and Asia. NOW will you get to work on the economy and see about bringing back jobs ? Screw the health bill you need to work on this economy and getting jobs back ! I can't wait for 2012 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
