After having hit a bit of a stumbling block in getting the Democrat attempt at socialized medicine off the ground, it now seems that Barry is hoping that his many Hollywood sycophants will be more than happy to assist him in that little endeavor. And in so doing Barry met, just this past Monday, with some of those so-called celebrities who are now pitching in to help him to lie to folks about the supposed benefits of his signature healthcare law ahead of the October 1 launch of state insurance exchanges.
According to CNN, Barry dropped by a White House meeting with 'American Idol' loser, Jennifer Hudson and actress Amy Poehler, as well as representatives for Oprah Winfrey, Alicia Keys, and the fella who actually cried the night that John Kerry-Heinz lost in 2004, Jon Bon Jovi. Other imbecilic attendees included officials from the Grammy awards and the Funny or Die website, which is a brainchild of that sophomoric boob, Will Ferrell and director Adam McKay. Such are the ‘stars’ Barry hope to use to get people to sign up for his healthcare.
"The President stopped by the meeting to engage artists who expressed an interest in helping to educate the public about the benefits of the health law," a White House official told CNN. "The reach of these national stars spreads beyond the beltway to fans of their television shows, movies, and music – and the power of these artists to speak through social media is especially critical." The Washington Post reported that the meeting was led by, who else but, senior adviser Valerie Jarrett.
The celebrity outreach effort coincides with the attempt by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to recruit top athletes to help promote the insurance exchanges. Last month, Sebelius told reporters she had been "very actively and enthusiastically engaged" with the National Football League (NFL) who, or so we're told, turned her down. The administration is planning a massive blitz ahead of the opening of the exchanges, where individuals who are currently without coverage can buy subsidized insurance.
The White House is hoping that it will be able to eventually hoodwink at least 3 million healthy adults who are without insurance into enrolling, enabling the cost savings necessary across the program. "We have the next couple of months laid out with a very busy and engaged schedule to make sure we're ready for marketplace enrollment on Oct. 1," Sebelius said. Yup, and these pathetic scumbags will leave no lie untold in their effort to con as many people as possible in to signing up for this disaster.
