New Orleans (CNN) – As the Supreme Court prepares to make a historic ruling on the fate of President Barack Obama’s health care law, his top adviser shifted attention on the rest of the White House’s legislative agenda rather than the potential dismantling of its signature piece of legislation.
Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s senior adviser and close family friend, told a group of black journalists Saturday that the administration is prepared for the court’s decision – which could come as early as Monday – then went on to attack Republicans in Congress for what she called a strategy of “no.”
“The Affordable Care Act is a very important piece of legislation that we spent a great deal of time crafting,” Jarrett told CNN, but, pointing to legislation on fair pay for women, tax cuts for working families and college tax breaks, added, “he had a lot more going on than the Affordable Care Act.”
