Robert Gibbs, President Obama's press secretary, told reporters on Tuesday that he hopes ["Daily Show"host Jon Stewart] can persuade enough Republican senators to vote for a 9/11 health bill so it can head to the president's desk."If there's the ability for that to sort of break through in our political environment, there's a good chance that he can help do that," Gibbs said in his briefing. "I think he has put the awareness around this legislation. He's put that awareness into what you guys cover each day, and I think that's good. I hope he can convince two Republicans to support taking care of those that took care of so many on that awful day in our history."White House Is Hoping Jon Stewart Can Help Them Out With The 9/11 Responders Bill

Shameful Senator Tom Coburn Republican Oklahoma killed the legislation to provide healthcare to the 9/11 first responders. The United States Chamber Of Commerce with their team of specialized attorneys sponsored legislation allowed transnational corporations to invest in the United States without any tax liability that would have paid for the healthcare of the first responders. What a inhumane act, profits before people.
