gibbs points out the cbo says there does seem to be a chance for substantial savings down the road. >> included in the cbo estimate is recommendations wouldn't come until 2015. the notion that you wouldn't see a lot of savings in the first ten years for a proposal that's not growing to make recommendations for at least another six years isn't that surprising. >> reporter: a huge question remains how do you foot the $3 trillion bill. one of the proposals gaining speed in the senate taxes so- called cadillac health insurance plans, the most expensive and generous plans but congress has to find more savings. >> it turns out the congressional budget office in scoring these different proposals has scored very little savings and huge costs so that we'll have a deficit under either the house bill or the senate bill anywhere from $240 billion to $600 billion. >> reporter: gibbs tells fox he thinks they're on the road to getting comprehensive health reform by this fall. in washington, fox 5 news. >>> later this week, president obama takes his fight to the people. wednesday morning the will hos

i question gibbs -- i believe in gibbs and his integrity but, yesterday, the president again spoke ont and said, hey, i just said something real. i said what i really felt. the second day, gibbs comes back and says, well, perhaps we shouldn't have said anything and he regrets it. now you say that? the president didn't say that yesterday. so i wonder if this is actually a little politics backtracking here. >> mort? >> i think that is what it is, it is politics. i think this is exactly the problem. it has distracted him from his maej agenda and frankly a little bit premature. i still don't think he knew what all of the facts were, nor could he have. it is a major american story. nobody denies that. the question is when do you bring it up and how. >> maybe a small piece of upside maybe it hay not have helped but otherwise the headlines would be reading obama's health care crashes and fail and now toure makes jokes saying it's boring and nobody paying attention to. >> you think the president is feeling good about this now? two negatives don't make a positive. >> reverend eugene rivers, ha

at 10:00 this morning, gibbs said the president said his final words on this. but during that intervening time, several police officials in cambridge had a conference and came hard after the white house. the president was watching some of that, we're told, and his advisers told him he would not be able to move beyond this if he did not address this personally, so that's what he did. what the white house is hoping, capped a pretty extraordinary two-day period. there's a pretty -- safe bet, i think, that this discussion is not totally over. >> it's not and it would be interesting to see if the president follows this up with a phone call to professor gates and whether the three men end up having that beer at the white house. i think that would be an interesting conversation to be a fly on if wall. thank you. >>> john harwood is in sacramento this hour with governor schwarzenegger. john? >> thanks so much, contessa and governor, thanks for joining us. before i ask you about the budget, the president of the united states just came in the briefing room and walked bac

"i think he would regret if you realize how much of an overall distraction and obsession it would be. i think he probably would regret distracting you guys with your obsessions. in other words, reporters are focusing on this story rather than some of the other topics such as health care reform. basically, this has taken the white house of message because they are fielding questions about racial issues and whether the president should apologize. trace: while we have you, we want to get your take on the other thing. what is the white house saying abo

>> reporter: white house press secretary robert gibbs was on fox news surrender this morning and he said the goal there was for saving money in the long term and he point out the cbo does say there is a chance for substantial savings down the road but the forecast is not nearly as rosy in the short-term, the cbo said the agency would probably save only $2 billion for medicare in the first four years or maybe save nothing the at all, and if you compare it to the overall cost of medicare for those four years starting in 2016. that is $2.8 trillion with a "t" and it is indeed a blow because the white house had been touting the agency as a way to help pay for the whole program. gibbs also, it is important to mention, reiterated the president's pledge not to sign a bill that would add to the deficit, jamie. >> jamie: is there a discrepancy over whether or not congress will get to voteden on this before they leave for august recess in there is still a bit of pressure on them this do that. is it realistic? >> they are giving us a big, fat maybe when he press them on capitol hill and staff membe

we're working on the last 20%. >> robert gibbs last night using the same talking points as axle rod and using them again in today's press briefing. >>> the budget office tonight taking aim at a critical component of obama's health care plan. the white house argued that savings from a proposed advisory panel would significantly cut costs for programs such as medica medicare. however, they conclude that that private individual would save only about $2 billion over a decade. a tiny fraction of the bill's price tag of over a trillion dollars. this is not the first time the congressional budget office has criticized the president's health care plan and came up with almost a 180 degree opposite conclusion. earlier this month, they warned that the house version of the bill would end almost $239 billion to the deficit. president obama declares the legislation won't raise the deficit. >> health care reform is not going to add to that deficit. it's designed to lower it. that's part of the reason why it's so important to do and to do now. >> well, that urgency seems to have ebbed as well. the pres

robert gibbs.dent in his own words on this inflammatory issue. >> i want to make clear that in my choice of words, i think i unfortunately then gave an impression that i was maligning the cambridge police department or sergeant crowley specifically. i could've covered those words differently. i told this to sergeant crowley. the fact that it has garnered so much attention, i think is a testimony to the fact that these are issues that are still very sensitive to america. and to the extent my choice of words did not eliminate but rather contributed to mark media frenzy, i think that was unfortunate. my hope is that as a consequence of this event, this ends up being what is called a teachable moment, where all of us, instead of pumping up the volume, spent about more time listening to each other, and try to focus on how we can generally improve relations between police officers and minority communities. and instead of flinging accusations, we can all be a little more reflective in terms of what we can

the white house press secretary robert gibbs told fox news sunday the president's deadline was really more like a guideline. >> he set a deadline in order to poke and prod congress into moving because, as you well know, having spent any timen this town, without a little poking and prodding not a lot gets done. >> gibbs says there is widespread agreement on 80% of health care but the other 20% can be tricky. the most conservative democrats, the blue dogs, are trying to limit the cost of subsidies that will help people afford insurance. they also want to ease any extra burden on small business owners. >> not only are we spending one in every $6 in the economy, we're heading for a circumstance where we'll spend 1 in every # dollars on health care. >> reporter: and one idea is to tax insurance companies on the most expensivplans to customers. democrats seem agree on that. but a key obama proposal to limit medicare reimbursement may not save as much as he had hoped. >> it turns out that the congressional budget office in scoring the proposals has scored very little svings and huge costs. >
