"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.

(In this movie, Obama is playing the Bruce Willis role. The GOP is playing the Samuel L. Jackson role.)
