White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs dodged a question today about whether the president would issue any veto threats at tomorrow's address to Congress.

When asked by Fox's Major Garrett, Gibbs thought for a moment, then said, "I'm trying to remember."

"I think the president will outline what he believes would constitute reform," he said.

Obama will use his second address to Congress to lay out specifics of what he wants to see in health care reform legislation, according to the White House. Many on both sides of the debate are waiting to see how hard the president will push for a public option.
