President Obama responded directly on Monday to Republican opponents to health care reform who have commented on the political nature of the debate, saying that the issue is not about politics but about the unsustainable cost of the current health care system.
On a conference call on Friday organized by the group Conservatives for Patients Rights, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said, "If we’re able to stop Obama on (health care), it will be his Waterloo. It will break him."
"Think about that," Mr. Obama said Monday, speaking from the Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. "This isn't about me. This isn't about politics. This is about a health care system that is breaking America's families, breaking America's businesses and breaking America's economy."
He said "there are too many lives and livelihoods at stake" to politicize the debate.
The president restated his promise to cut the costs of health care over the long run and reiterated his point that the reimbursement system for health care providers must be changed to provide the right incentives.
"In a city like Washington, D.C., you've got all the doctors in one half of the city, very few doctors in the other half of the city," Mr. Obama said. "And part of that has to do with just the manner in which reimbursement is taking place and the disincentives for doctors, nurses, and physicians assistants in caring for those who are most in need."
The president made the remarks after sitting in on a roundtable discussion about health care reform with workers at the medical center.
The president assailed insurance companies that have "reaped windfall profits from a broken system."
Commenting that Washington has a tendency toward inertia, Mr. Obama said lawmakers will have to get over "the politics of the moment" to pass health care reform this year.
"We always knew passing health care reform wouldn't be easy. We always knew doing what is right would be hard," he said. "We're a country that chooses the harder right over the easier wrong... We have to do that once more."

I would like to see this very monumental quote.
Who claims obama said it? (anonymous source)
What media outlet will publish it? (right-wing blogs?)
You're telling me Obama just admitted his entire presidency rests on the passage of one failing bill, and FOX news isn't covering it?
See, this is the problem with "underground media". It's only credible when you believe it.
Please deliver this HUGE quote - and it is - from a credible source and a recognized news outlet. I'm not saying a repub attack dog like grassley would make this up, well...

A telling episode recounted by Senate Finance ranking member Charles Grassley reveals the Obama administration might be more worried than they are letting on that a Republican senator's comparison of the healthcare overhaul to Waterloo might be dangerously close to the truth.
Grassley said he spoke with a Democratic House member last week who shared Obama's bleak reaction during a private meeting to reports that some factions of House Democrats were lining up to stall or even take down the overhaul unless leaders made major changes.
"Let's just lay everything on the table," Grassley said. "A Democrat congressman last week told me after a conversation with the president that the president had trouble in the House of Representatives, and it wasn't going to pass if there weren't some changes made ... and the president says, 'You're going to destroy my presidency.' "
The White House did not respond to requests for comment.

240,
honestly, how long are you going to keep your head in the sand ?

I just want to make clear.
This quote came from an anonymous Dem, last week, and is only known because a repub who attacks Obama nonstop was brave enough to share it?
not only that, but no other media source will share it, besides "club for growth".

240, does that surprise you, considering the fact that more than 70% of the media is in favor of the democratic party?

Good question. My guess is that they've either prioritized the below the information that's coming out about the heath-scare bill, or they are following up with some facts.

Of course this whole thing is about Obama.
