ABC: President Obama heralds as 'Significant Progress' unpopular compromise health care bill, non-binding Climate Change accord

ABC's Jake Tapper:

President Obama came to the Diplomatic Reception Room Saturday afternoon to herald the unpopular compromise Senate health care reform bill and the watered-down non-binding international climate change accord as "significant progress" on resolving "the crushing cost of health care and our dangerous dependence on fossil fuels."

Responding to a deal hashed-out between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb. -- the last hold-out among all 60 senators who caucus with Democrats -- the president said "it now appears that the American people will have the vote they deserve on genuine reform that offers security to those who have health insurance and affordable options to those for do not."
