| [00:00.00] | President Obama is postponing a trip |
| [00:02.44] | to Indonesia and Australia, |
| [00:03.93] | so he can stay in Washington |
| [00:05.49] | to try to get his health care reforms pass by congress. |
| [00:08.35] | Mr. Obama had already delayed |
| [00:10.28] | the long arranged trip once |
| [00:11.90] | and was due to set off on Sunday. |
| [00:13.76] | But with the crucial vote on the reform is expected within days, |
| [00:17.12] | the trip has been put off entirely until June. |
| [00:19.67] | From Washington Mark Martell reports. |
| [00:22.10] | The president's make changes to American health care insurance system, |
| [00:25.83] | his flagship domestic legislation |
| [00:27.76] | is dragged on for over a year |
| [00:29.94] | and divided the country. |
| [00:31.24] | He will be damaged if he can't get it through. |
| [00:33.48] | The climax is near, |
| [00:34.97] | so far there is no sign of any republicans voting for it, |
| [00:38.52] | its fate lies in the hands of handful |
| [00:41.01] | in the president's own party, |
| [00:42.00] | who either feel it allows for easier abortion |
| [00:44.43] | or who simply fear a back lash in November's elections, |
| [00:47.60] | if they vote for a measures their constitution dislike. |
