WASHINGTON – 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.

Those bastards are just begging for an all out civil war. If they try that, God help us. All hell is going to break lose.
With all the annoying Ssssing he does when he talks, all I can think of is that snake in The Jungle Book singing “Trust in Me”
RE ping to 25.
This is most fascinating. I read the whole d**ned Senate bill, so I either missed it, or the b**tard added it in at the last minute.
Either are possible.
Has anyone located this language in the current form of the Senate bill?
If it passes it's not going to kill him. It's going to kill us.
“”...pass his health care overhaul even if it kills him...”
If it passes it’s not going to kill him. It’s going to kill us. “
Exactly!
This is an entirely inappropriate assertion for a president to make. It puts any who would work against his legislative goals, particularly if they are successful or even if they merely gain significant traction toward opposing the legislation, as "killing the president."
This is not altruism on Obama's behalf, IMHO, but rather, intimidation and a continuation of the out-and-out thuggery we've seen from this Communist. Given his desire to stand with his muslim brothers via a jihadi mentality, his "kills me" scenario may indicate something of a martyr complex.
Executive orders would not have sufficient funding to make 0bama's single payer (h/t post #25) health care goals even modestly workable.
If this fails, look for further clandestine legislative initiatives, aided by parliamentary and hidden amendment shenanigans.
In the meantime, Everybody please help to kill these bills!

Amen to dat! -g-

I was thinking he was in the movie called “Leap of Faith” but that was a comedy with Steve Martin. I think Marjoe was in a somewhat biographical movie called “Marjoe.” He was in some B movies, most of which were pretty bad.
Ears and nose out of sync. Stanley Dunham’s family had big ears!!!
