President Obama is postponing a trip |
| [00:02.44] |
to Indonesia and Australia, |
| [00:03.93] |
so he can stay in Washington |
| [00:05.49] |
to try to get his health care reforms pass by congress. |
| [00:08.35] |
Mr. Obama had already delayed |
| [00:10.28] |
the long arranged trip once |
| [00:11.90] |
and was due to set off on Sunday. |
| [00:13.76] |
But with the crucial vote on the reform is expected within days, |
| [00:17.12] |
the trip has been put off entirely until June. |
| [00:19.67] |
From Washington Mark Martell reports. |
| [00:22.10] |
The president's make changes to American health care insurance system, |
| [00:25.83] |
his flagship domestic legislation |
| [00:27.76] |
is dragged on for over a year |
| [00:29.94] |
and divided the country. |
| [00:31.24] |
He will be damaged if he can't get it through. |
| [00:33.48] |
The climax is near, |
| [00:34.97] |
so far there is no sign of any republicans voting for it, |
| [00:38.52] |
its fate lies in the hands of handful |
| [00:41.01] |
in the president's own party, |
| [00:42.00] |
who either feel it allows for easier abortion |
| [00:44.43] |
or who simply fear a back lash in November's elections, |
| [00:47.60] |
if they vote for a measures their constitution dislike. |
