Obama to talk health care conservative radio
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama plans to discuss his push for health care overhaul Thursday when Philadelphia-based conservative radio talk show host Michael Smerconish broadcasts his program from the White House.
It will the president’s first words on the subject since comments by him and others in the administration over the weekend indicated the White House was willing to abandon a government-run plan from any overhaul.
Presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs said the White House was invited to be on the show and thought it was a good idea.
Smerconish interviewed Obama during the presidential campaign last year.
