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.

I sure wish these stupid actors/musicians would keep quiet. I had always like Andy Griffith and enjoyed his shows. Now, I think he a idiot. Thanks for opening your mouth and proving it Andy.
I’m all in favor of pitching Obamacare.
UGH! More useful idiots!

Shame they’ve co-opted him. Perhaps they told him they wouldn’t skimp on HIS medical care (a lie of course).
Any old fool who falls for the baloney this old fool is trying to pass out is an old fool.

Andy Griffith got off my list when I saw him and “Dopie” pitching Obama as president in a commercial.
Is he being paid?
Can't understand how two actors involved in such a wholesome, amusing, feel-good TV series could be such hardcore leftists, but Wikipedia says Griffith has been a Dem activist forever.
Opie, I'm guessing, simply got sucked into the liberal Hollywood sinkhole.
Or in this particular instance, bad cracker.
It never ceases to amaze me when some rich guy supports anything and wants to take me along for the ride. He doesn’t have to worry about his health care.
Now I can see where Opie got his idiocy
The joke among TV people at the time was that "Matlock" reruns ranked as high as originals because the CBS fan base of old people couldn't tell the difference.

I never watched much of the show, but caught a rerun several years ago that stuck with me. Little Opie was being bad...so Andy’s solution..BRIBE him. Just a bunch of useful idiots.
He has beeen on medicare for decades already. And this old cogger will be the first to loose his healthcare from the
Obama healthcare Czar.
