Obama Fox News interview w/ Bret Baier (VIDEO / TRANSCRIPT)

Barack Obama appeared on Fox News (only his third, understandably) recently for an interview with Bret Baier to discuss his administration health care reform bill. The bill is due for a vote at Capitol Hill and President Obama is making last0minute pitches to support the health care reform ahead of a crucial vote in the House of Representatives.

Here's an excerpt from that Fox News interview, with Obama predicting that Congress will soon pass the health care reform proposal that his administration has
been working on for months.

OBAMA: I'm confident it will pass. And the reason I'm confident that it's going to pass is because it's the right thing to do. Look, on a whole host of these measures, whether it's health care, whether it was fixing the financial system, whether it's making sure that we passed the Recovery Act, I knew these things might not be popular, but I was absolutely positive that they were the right thing to do and that, over time, we would be vindicated in having made those tough decisions.

I think health care is exactly the same thing. We -- I've got a whole bunch of portraits of presidents around here, starting with Teddy Roosevelt, who tried to do this and didn't get it done. The reason that it needs to be done is not its affect on the presidency. It has to do with how it's going to affect ordinary people who right now are desperately in need of help.
