The President "Ready to start over on healthcare reform"

Obama spoke about his bipartisan talk scheduled for later this month. House Republicans have called for Obama to scrap the current health care bills in order for them to fully come to the table -- but Obama dismissed this idea.

"I'm going to be starting from scratch in the sense that I will be open to any ideas that help promote these goals. What I will not do, what I don't think makes sense and what I don't think the American people want to see is another year of partisan wrangling around these issues, another six months or eight months or nine months worth of hearings in every single committee in the House and the Senate in which there's a lot of posturing," he said. "Let's get the relevant parties together. Let's put the best ideas on the table. My hope is that we can find enough overlap that we can say, this is the right way to move forward even if I don't get every single thing that I want."

"Bipartisanship can't be that I agree to all the things that they believe in or want and they agree to none of the things that I believe or want," Obama continued.
