Obama:" I will Pass Health Care even if it kills me"
In private pitches to Democrats, President Barack Obama says he will persuade Congress to pass his health care overhaul even if it kills him and even if he has to ask deeply distrustful lawmakers to trust him on a promise the White House doesn’t have the power to keep.
That, in a sometimes darkly joking way, is what the president is telling Democratic House members as he begins an all-out push to coax Congress into passing his proposals despite voters’ misgivings and Republicans’ dire warnings.
"He made the case, ‘Listen, we put in a very hard year working on health care reform and the time for action is now,’" said Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., one of several Democrats who met with Obama at the White House on Thursday.
Obama joked that the political battle has contributed to the recent rise in his cholesterol, Kind said, and the president noted how ironic it would be if health care drove him to his grave.
But Obama is anything but sickly these days, making health care pitches Monday in Philadelphia and Wednesday in St. Louis, and instructing aides to address every question or concern Democratic lawmakers possibly can raise.

Damn, what is the big deal for him on this? (I don't mean to be rude, but this is getting odd.)

....He is soooo over-the-top shouting, echoing, using his candyman style and grasping when the serfs don't listen. Absurd. We need to not listen more.

obama wants a socialist America and govt. healthcare is a cornerstone of socialism. If this bill fails to pass, obama fears that a radical turnover this Fall in Congress will doom his other socialist plans. He needs that healthcare plan to guarantee a new level of govt. control over the population.
