President Obama is so anxious to reach conservative House Democrats on health care, he's willing to go on Fox News.

The president who has criticized Fox for what he regards as its conservative leanings will appear Wednesday night on Special Report with Bret Baier.

"Obviously, they have a pretty big audience share," explained Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs.

Gibbs also cited strategic considerations with respect to House Democrats who are wavering on the health care bill.

"They watch and their constituents watch this news," Gibbs said.
