OK, SO HOW MANY OF US ARE GONNA FALL FOR THIS?

It's now being reported that as the California state government begins setting up its ObamaCare exchange, that that exchange has now gone out and hired a PR firm, courtesy of some of your hard earned tax dollars. And wait until you hear what that money id going to buy you. Ms. Abby Goodnough, of The New York Times writes, "Realizing that much of the battle will be in the public relations realm, the exchange has poured significant resources into a detailed marketing plan — developed not by state health bureaucrats but by the global marketing powerhouse Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide, which has an initial $900,000 contract with the exchange." As described by Ms. Goodnough, apparently Ogilvy's plan is to tap major network TV shows like "Grey's Anatomy" and "Modern Family" to sell Americans on Barry's severely flawed health care law:

"Hollywood, an industry whose major players have been supportive of President Obama and his agenda, will be tapped. Plans are being discussed to pitch a reality television show about “the trials and tribulations of families living without medical coverage,” according to the Ogilvy plan. The exchange will also seek to have prime-time television shows, like “Modern Family,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and Univision telenovelas, weave the health care law into their plots. “I’d like to see 10 of the major TV shows, or telenovelas, have people talking about ‘that health insurance thing,’ ” said Peter V. Lee, the exchange’s executive director. “There are good story lines here.” Although the exchange will not start advertising until next year, the California Endowment, a foundation that has spent $15 million promoting the law, is running newspaper and television ads, including one in which the television personality Dr. Mehmet Oz exhorts viewers to “get educated, get engaged, get enrolled.” That campaign has targeted Hispanics, who make up more than half of the state’s uninsured population."


Remember how it was that the liberal media was all up in arms at the mere thought that the federal government would promote the war in Iraq inside Iraq, and furious that the Department of Education would hire PR 'flacks' like Armstrong Williams to talk up Bush education programs on cable news. So where is their outrage at the idea that federal grants would promote ObamaCare by advertising inside network TV entertainment programs? Oh wait a minute, silly me, what the Hell was I thinking. Bush was a Republican and Barry is a, what? A Socialist, a Marxist, a Communist, I don’t think we really know for sure. All we do know for sure is that he calls himself a Democrat, which seems to be good enough for our state-controlled media, who, apparently, seems to think it should be good enough for the rest of us as well. So now we are going to be inundated with even more Barry propaganda.
