WASHINGTON (AP) - Actor Andy Griffith has a new role: pitching President Barack Obama's health care law to seniors in a cable television ad paid for by Medicare. The TV star - whose role as sheriff of Mayberry made him an enduring symbol of small-town American values - tells seniors that "good things are coming" under the health care overhaul, including free preventive checkups and lower-cost prescriptions for Medicare recipients.

"Polls show that seniors are more skeptical of the health care law than younger people because Medicare cuts provide much of the financing to expand coverage for the uninsured.".......
...And the clown from Mayberry is going to change that?

Government’s answer to a flawed product; more propaganda.

I thought He died too. The last time I seen him he was barely able to keep his teeth in on Matlock. Remember that show?
To: patriot08
He endorsed Jim Hunt in the 1984 NC Senate race. He’s a lib young or old.

Oh, he's the guy from the TV show about a small Southern town whose population was, oddly, 100% white - you know that show that aired from 1960-1968 during the civil rights movement?
To: AngelesCrestHighway
He’s a big lib. Opie, Andy and the Fonz made a commerical for Obama back in 2008. Of course he’s going to support obama care
To: AngelesCrestHighway
Yet another useful idiot trying to con voters because they happened to be on classic TV from days past. The vermin Ron Howard was the first. Not gonna work this time.

No wonder Opie turned out so dopie.

lol, years ago I used to run into him at Neiman Reeds Lumber City in Burbank
To: AngelesCrestHighway
He’s been a lifelong Democrat, like a lot of Southern men of his generation. No real surprise here, he was a big O-bot in ‘08.
