WASHINGTON (AP) - Increasingly eager to finish work on his top domestic priority, President Barack Obama heads to northeast Ohio on Monday with a final sales pitch for health care legislation.

The top Democratic vote-counter in the House says that right now, the bill lacks support to pass.

But Obama's top political adviser, David Axelrod, says he's "absolutely confident" the measure will pass during a make-or-break week that already saw the president delay his trip to Indonesia, Australia and Guam.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Sunday he thinks this is "the climactic week for health care reform."
