Obama noted in a nationally broadcast interview Tuesday that "the House has put forward a surtax," but was noncommittal about whether it should actually be part of the reconstituted health care system he is pushing.
The president also said on NBC's "Today" show that he is pushing hard for legislation before Congress's August recess because "if you don't set a deadline in this town, nothing happens. The default in Washington is inaction and inertia."
However, the administration has already proven that even deadlines don't ensure that action is taken -- they've already missed the six-month deadline regarding Guantanamo.
