Video: President Obama responds to Republican Senator's 'Obama's Waterloo' statement
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. source: Think Progress

Senator Demint: The biggest tent of all is the tent of freedom
I keep thinking as I listen to these interviews with Republican leadership and/or surrogates, that these comments are coming from the guys who had control of of the Congress and the Presidency for most of the last eight years, and got us into the fix that we're in. That I am certainly not forgetting.
Funny stuff begins around 2:56
Demint says, 'The biggest tent of all is the tent of freedom.' Sanchez responds with what the hell does that mean?
