The Rose Garden briefing begins: President Obama is delaying his trip to Indonesia and Australia until June, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs says, so Obama can be in Washington when Congress votes on a health care bill, probably on Sunday.
"The president greatly regrets the delay," he says..

He knows he needs to be there to twist arms and to stiffen the spines of Democrats both in the House and the Senate.
