WASHINGTON - Senator Chuck Grassley says that President Obama has "got nerve" to go sightseeing in Paris while telling lawmakers it's time to deliver on a healthcare overhaul.
Grassley, the top Republican on the Finance Committee, is key to any bipartisan healthcare deal. Using Twitter, the Internet-based social connection service that allows users to send mass text messages called "tweets," the Iowa Republican issued two angry "tweets" yesterday morning as the president wrapped up an overseas tour.
For months Obama had left the details of healthcare legislation to Congress, then inserted himself firmly into the debate in recent days, including using his weekly radio address Saturday to declare "it's time to deliver" on health reform.
