Nothing more than Obamacons.

Nineteen people stood behind President Obama on stage in the Executive Office Building Tuesday as the president kicked off a new campaign to promote Obamacare. One of those people, a young Florida woman named Monica Weeks, introduced Obama after telling the story of being struck with Crohn's Disease at age 19 and receiving expensive treatments for several years that were covered by her parents' health care plan — because Obamacare allowed her to remain on that plan until age 26. Now, Weeks said, she has coverage through a job. "The Affordable Care Act gives young adults who are just starting their careers more time to find a good job that offers reliable health insurance," Weeks said.
There were 18 other people standing with Weeks and the president on stage. Obama began his remarks by saying, "Thanks to Monica, thanks to everybody standing behind me." A little later, criticizing Republicans who have pronounced Obamacare a failure, the president said, "I would advise them to check with the people who are here today and the people that they represent all across the country whose lives have been changed for the better by the Affordable Care Act."

That's kind of what I've been wondering -- where does he dig up these purported success stories when any policy issued under ObamaCare (assuming the success stories managed to get through the website and the insurer got the information, though the payment mechanism isn't in place yet as I understand it) when it doesn't seem possible any ObamaCare policies are actually in effect yet?
Of course, haven't there been numerous times in the past when he's passed off long-time Dem operatives as "ordinary Americans" who are really really pleased with some former crack-brained plan of his?
And how smart is it to have your prop guy be a Curly Howard look-a-like? I couldn't stop looking at him!
Wasn't it the Democrats who hated Reagan for his "Government by Anecdote" style?
This particular use of the tactic is especially egregious, since the health care plans of millions of non-Obama voters are being deliberately destroyed to provide free care for a few of these carefully scripted anecdotal examples.
Perhaps because the American people detest 0bamacare, and Barry Benghazi is himself a pathological liar.
More legislating by anecdote. It’s how they advance their agenda.
The "community organizer" got a bit-part player - perfectly timed, no less - courtesy of the "global organizer?" That is amazing.

I posted (No. 48) before reading your excellent comment. I think Reagan used anecdotes to highlight achievement rather than victimhood. In any case, I remember the talking heads (Brinkley? Donaldson?) mocking Reagan for doing it. It was too “folksy” or something.
If Obamacare is so affordable, why can't 26 year olds afford to get it and not have to be covered under their mommies and daddies?
Yes, I know it's not really affordable just pointing out the libs logic...
Integrity in today’s liberalism is defined like virtue was in Machiavelli’s time: It’s anything that gets you into office and keeps you there.
Everything Obama and the democrats do with the help of the media is targeted to the female audience.
Nothing more than Obamacons.

Yes, he’s a Marxist swine.
The other 18 were employees of a modeling agency from Baltimore./S
Indeed. She’s nothing more than a prop.
