After July’s Turmoil, Obama Needs ‘a New Chapter’ in August – WaPo (8/8/09):

Obama needs his party’s lawmakers to return to Washington after Labor Day ready to move on health care. If failure is not an option, as so many Democrats say, August will have to be a time in which consensus takes shape. Obama still holds out hope of enacting health care with the help of some Republicans, but without a united Democratic Party there is virtually no hope for success.

Has Obama picked up Bush’s habit of not reading the papers?
