HENRY [CNN Anchor]: But, now when you say the Democrats need to walk the walk, Democrats will respond that, in fact, the president has not actually put a plan on the table. He’s talked about private accounts. He’s talked about principles in his State of the Union back in January, but he has not actually put a plan on the table. Why is that?
