It's around 2:30 p.m eastern and Obama's about to speak at a town hall in Cleveland. It's live streaming at msnbc.com. I'll post video when it's up.
Obama may comment on his comment about the police who arrested Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates. I think Obama's response was an emotional response in that he understood Gates.
Update: Obama scooted the deadline to get health care done to the fall. Sen. Harry Reid is also saying nothing til fall. Also, Gibbs qualified Obama's remarks -- looks like Obama is sticking to health care at the town hall. Good move.
On the deadline Obama said: "I want to get it right but I also want to get it done promptly" and as long as he sees people working diligently, he's willing to bend.
