CNN’s John King on Obama’s Boston Push: ‘It Was a Good Try’

KING: “Where did you go from here? The president came to this town yesterday to try to get people to lift their heads, to look over the horizon, saying when Mitt Romney's health care plan, a bipartisan plan, rolled out, only 100 people, 123 signed up the first month. Now, the people of Massachusetts years later are quite happy, pretty happy with their program. So the president was trying to say, ‘Look, if you lift your head, look 6 months or a year or two down the road, this is going to be a good program.’ He may well be right. We don’t know the answer to that question yet. It was a good try by the president. They have to get through these embarrassing day after day stories to start rebuilding confidence. And one of the things that will help, Kate, is that Congress is going home for the year soon so the volume at least in Washington will get turned down a bit. They'll have a chance, they’ll have a chance to try to restore some faith in this.”
