24-07-09 Obama:"I Don't Break"President Obama cast out fighting words tonight in the ever-intensifying debate over health care reform.Speaking at a Democratic fundraiser tonight in Chicago,Obama responded to criticism from some in the GOP who have suggested that health care reform could "break" the President.In front of a lively crowd of hometown supporters he said,"Let me tell you something.I'm from Chicago.I don't break."He went on to make his case for health care reform saying it is a "moral imperative" to fix a system in which 46 million Americans are living without health insurance.And lest he miss an opportunity to employ a timely sports metaphor,Obama referenced the perfectly pitched White Sox game and said it's time for "America to come together and make some plays for each other" - and pass health care reform by the end of the year |
