White House advisers David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett joined chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel on the Sunday talk shows yesterday, each addressing the public option with similar argument, neatly summed up by Jarrett:
He has said very clearly that he thinks it's the best option, and we'll see what happens.
In their appearances, Axelrod, Emmanuel, and Jarrett all pointed out that President Obama was a strong supporter of the public option, but none of them would venture a guess on whether or not he would get what he wants. They also all made it clear that President Obama wanted health reform to pass with or without a public option.
