The Associated Press reports that Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) is urging President Obama to get tough with senators who are impeding the passage of legislation to improve the health care system.

Conyers suggested that Obama emulate Lyndon Johnson and “start knocking heads together.”

The House version of the health care legislation passed 220-215 late Saturday.
