Washington, D.C. (AHN) - President Barack Obama made a rare trip to Congress on Saturday to urge lawmakers to move health care reform legislation ahead.

Obama called it a rare and historic moment to accomplish health care reform. Left unspoken was that if this opportunity was missed another wouldn't come along any time soon.

"This is our moment" to live up to expectations, Obama said in a press conference telecast live from the Rose Garden early Saturday afternoon.

He expressed confidence that something would be accomplished on reforming health care.
