WASHINGTON (November 6, 2009)--President Barack Obama still expects to have a health care overhaul bill to sign by year's end and he plans to lobby personally for it in a visit to Capitol Hill Saturday, the White House says.
House Democratic leader Steny Hoyer told reporters earlier Friday that the make-or-break vote on Mr. Obama's top priority could face delay and might not come until Sunday or later.
Democrats indicated they don't have enough votes lined up to conduct the vote Saturday.
Mr. Obama had been set to make a personal appeal to the Democratic rank and file in a visit Friday to Capitol Hill, but that was postponed after the shootings at Fort Hood.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says even if there is no vote Saturday, the president expects the bill to pass despite the delay.
