In a closed door meeting with House Democrats this morning, President Obama made an impassioned appeal for what he called "a big moment in history," urging passage of the health care reform bill.
"It's tempting to say, 'I'm tired, it's hard, I'm getting beat up back in the district, it's just not worth it,'" Obama said, according to a source in the meeting. "If we do not get it done this year, we will not get it done anytime soon."
