We Ask Questions

My question for President Obama’s National Healthcare Forum tomorrow:
At Netroots Nation last week, Valerie Jarrett said that your administration would not apply any pressure on the Blue Dogs to support the public option, and that you were looking for the netroots and grassroots to do that instead. Will you apply that same hands-off policy to the progressives who pledged to vote against any bill without a public option?
I also wanted to throw something in there about whether it would be our fault if the Blue Dogs refused to vote for a public option, but thought a double question might be pressing my luck.
