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.

“Health Care Reform”....I wish these frauds would quit calling it that.
“Obama says he will persuade Congress to pass his health care overhaul even if it kills him”
Well, what can I say but, good luck!
So the fake messiah thinks his death for health care will heal all the American People?? He’s nuttier than Squirl Poo....
His boy rahm, dead fish, has hopefully sunk his ship with his Chicago thug tactics on Rep Massa....which at this point seem all trumped up. Beck is giving him a whole hour tomorrow.....
Martyr? Or Idiot?
Did the Obozo have a mental health exam along with his physical exam? He’s really irrational - well, more irrational than the usual dem lunacy - to keep pushing this mess that no one wants.
Oh, please spare me your Stalin woes.
Democrats are drama queens.
Oh this one is to easy...I will take the high road and pass on the comment
This just might be the kicker to the deal that'll win over a few votes
Barry needs to just fire Rahm and Axelrod and go back to the drawing board. I suspect that Massa is only the first of many to come forward and publicly disclose the unethical bullying tactics of the White House. Even the Dems can’t stand Barry and Rahm at this point.
Well, he called for it, I didn’t.
I’ll buy him another pack of cigarettes, a really fatty steak, and a quart of ice cream!
“Obama says he will persuade Congress..... even if it kills him....”
Follow your dreams... lead by example... be all that you can be.... show us the way.... You first.
Figures.
Always thought 0bama was a suicidal Islamic jihadist. The real question here is, why would Democratic party congressmen follow 0bama into a suicidal pact, and get slaughtered in November?
The idiot was invoking Farrakhan....
Obama can’t invoke his own death, that’s racist!
Yeah, if this whole mess winds up killing 0, he’s got my vote.
Good God don’t make him a martyr! It’s taken the public 47 years just to get over JFK.
