The White House released a transcript of President Barack Obama’s town hall meeting today on health care. It was held at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale, Virginia.
THE PRESIDENT: Good to see you guys. Thank you, everybody. Thank you. (Applause.) Thank you, Northern Virginia. Thank you very much. What a wonderful welcome. And I’m so grateful to all of you for taking the time to be here. Click title to read more…
A couple of quick acknowledgments. First of all, I want to thank President Templin and Chancellor DuBois for their wonderful hospitality. We are grateful to both of them.
We’ve got some extraordinary elected officials — a few that I want to mention. First of all, you’ve got one of the finest governors in the country, who also is doing a great job as DNC chair. Please give Tim Kaine a big round of applause. (Applause.) Part of the reason Tim is such a good governor is because he took notes while being lieutenant governor to the former governor and now senator for the state of Virginia, an outstanding public servant, Mark Warner. (Applause.) And three outstanding members of Congress: Bobby Scott, Jim Moran, and Gerry Connolly — thank you so much, guys, for the great job you do every day. (Applause.)
