leave that speech knowing exactly where the president stands, exactly what he thinks we have to do to get health care done. rirchlg at the same time cnn has learned the white house is quietly talking about drafting its own health care bill. a kind of contingency legislation, and is leaning towards a plan that would trigger a public insurance option only if health care reform fails to meet certain goals. white house officials dodged questions sunday about whether the president would sign a bill that doesn't include a public option. >> he believes the public option is a good tool. now, it shouldn't define the whole health care debate, however. >> reporter: it's a condition ten shus issue that has the white house squeezed from the right and the left. >> we need credible, comprehensive, universal health care with a good robust public option now. >> i think if the democrats embrace the public option, even in the form of the trigger, they'll shoot themselves in the foot. >> reporter: and political analysts say there's a lot riding on the president's short visit this week to capitol hill. >> he has various alternatives and ideas, but at the end of the speech, it seems to me, folks

somehow we can't? >> well, the answer to that is they're [ bleep ] holes. >> jones did apologize, but later in his resignation statement it said, "on the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have moubted a vicious smear campaign against me. they are using lies and distortions to dis tract and divide." jones has a long background of environmental and legal activism. he founded green for all, a group that promotes green jobs, and, also, the elia baker center for human rights, which focuses on stopping violence in lower income communities. time magazine

fury over president obama's planned speech to the nation's school kids. some parents say tuesday's address will amount to indoctrination, not education. >> i'm happy about it. they are totally disregarding what the parents have the right to do and what their children should be seeing, and it's totally cutting the parent out of the picture. this is crossing a line, and i'm going to use an ugly word right now, but i believe a fascist line that the president has no right what soar to go into these pre-k to sixth grade children and try to somehow sell his agenda. >> arnie duncan is responding to that. he is calling those complaints "silly." he admitted the original lesson plan was flawed when it called for students to write the president about how to meet his education goals. that section has since been changed and secretary duncan says parents can decide if they want their kids to take part. >> the president's whole speech is about asking students to take responsibility for their education, really challenge them to work hard every day, to set goals, have a stropg work ethic, and i think this is a really important message. it's absolutely voluntary. no one is mandating this. folks can watch it in school. they can watch it at night with their families. they can watch it two months from now or never watch it. whatever they want to do. >> on that note, you don't have to be in a school to catch the president's speech to the kids. just tune in to cnn. lae we plan to carry it live on tuesday. the president's go-to man on the economy is back on the world's
