(NECN: Annandale, VA) - President Barack Obama this afternoon paid a visit to a community college in suburban Virginia to again press his case for legislation overhauling the nation's health care system.

"I know there are some who say we can't tackle all of these problems...what I say is that America has waited long enough for action on these issues," said Obama of health care, education, energy and other important issues facing our nation.

"It's time for us to act," said Obama.

"It's not too soon to reform our health care system," said Obama.
