When a politician says "It's not about me", you can rest assured that it is all about him. It is like that Seinfeld episode where George gets dumped with the old "It's not you it's me" routine, to which he forcefully replies, "Nobody tells me it's them not me, if it's anybody it's me!" In this instance, George was stubbornly honest.
So Obama says health care reform isn't about him. Never mind his pledge to work in a bipartisan spirit. This is the same guy who told Republicans, "I won" when the complained about the process of pushing through the stimulus bill. This is mostly about him and his cult like supporters. This is the guy who ran a messianic campaign extolling that "We are the ones we have been waiting for."
Again, setting aside his promise to work across the aisle, this is a bill that was crafted by Democrats but now has a growing contingent of Democrat opposition.
According to National Journal, Obama told a Democrat Congressmen who was concerned about the cost of the legislation, that if they don't support the bill (even though Obama has admitted he isn't clear on all the bill's details) they will "destroy [his] Presidency."
Better his Presidency than the fabric of the nation and the principles of its founding.
