Can somebody tell me, again: What's so wrong with the way they do things in Canada?

Republicans see Obama's desire to fix our health care system as an opportunity to beat down the uppity black.

...ok, admittedly, that's just my interpretation of their motives...but you think of a better one.

Via Think Progress:

In his speech, Obama also took aim at comments made by one of the most ardent opponents of health reform, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC). DeMint last week declared that he would do everything in his power to kill health reform in the Senate. Obama struck back today by saying the debate “isn’t about me,” but rather a system that is “breaking American families”:

OBAMA: Just the other day, one Republican Senator said, and I’m quoting him now, “if we’re able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo. It will break him.” Think about that. This isn’t about me. This isn’t about politics. It is about a health care system that is breaking American families, breaking America’s businesses and breaking America’s economy.
