7 minutes ago Obama meets with celebs who want to promote Obamacare
Posted by CNN White House Producer Adam Aigner-Treworgy and CNN's Kevin Liptak
(CNN) – President Barack Obama, hoping to pitch his signature health care law to younger Americans, will get some help from a cadre of Hollywood stars who have volunteered to help promote Obamacare's insurance exchanges that open on October 1.
At a meeting at the White House Monday, a group that included singer Jennifer Hudson and actors Kal Penn and Amy Poehler heard Obama extol the benefits his health care law offers young people, whose participation in the exchanges is seen as essential for their long-term viability.
"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 said. "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 meeting, which was led by Obama's senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, also included representatives for Oprah Winfrey, Alicia Keys, Bon Jovi, YouTube Comedy, Funny or Die and the organizations that put on the annual Grammy and Latin Grammy awards.

Democrats in the Executive Branch still oppose it too, as evidenced by the unwillingness of the President to place himself, his family, or his appointees under the law. If Obamacare is all it's cracked up to be, let's see the president, the cabinet, and their families enroll in the exchanges. Let's see them put their medical records and tax returns in the hands of unscreened navigators. If Obama won't enroll himself, his family, or his staff in Obamacare, that's all the American people need to know about the obamacare crap casserole.
Here are the names of some celebrities who want to kiss Obama’s ass by supporting ObamaDoesntCare.
Arthur Rightis
Ben Gay (have fun with this name)
Hema Rhoid
Pena Cillin
Gona Rhea
Helen Thomas (Dead, finally)
how many dollars being funneled to leftists to promote this
Libtards!
As most things in the WH are.
Now we need some celebs on the “other” side to produce some PSAs explaining to today’s youth:
1) the cost of the fine for not buying insurance is much, much less than the cost of buying
2) they can still buy insurance if they have a serious illness that needs treatment
3) they will not be turned away from an ER if they need treatment for an accident
4) Obamacare is designed to take money from the young and healthy to pay for the elderly and infirm.
“Jennifer Hudson and actors Kal Penn and Amy Poehler
Who?”
Jennifer Hudson came to fame through American Idol, then won an academy award for some movie I never saw and don’t remember the name of, and then has been doing Weight Watchers commercials.
Kal Pen was half of a raunchy comedy movie team in the same vein, although not as clever as, Cheech and Chong. He also played a terrorist on 24 and has most recently been working for the Obama campaign.
Amy Poehler has done TV and movie acting, but came to fame through Saturday Night Live.
These hollyweird vermin will live to regret their treason and idiocy. Things are not going to get better long term... hollyweird will fail along with most of California... it is coming and nothing being done today and nothing being talked about by either party will deal with our collapsing economy. We even have Baghdad jay stating today that obama has overseen 42 months growth... Detroit is the fault of Republican policies for the past 60 years and Conservatives need to be interned in camps or killed. Ok... they didn’t talk about that last thing... but they will and you know they are already discussing it.
Don’t promote it, if you aren’t going to be on it. Leave the rest of us alone.
bon jovi is a has been... other libs get him to appear and to play at fundraisers but when was the last current bon jovi hit that played on the radio... not Classic Rock? What were their album sales last year? What is their touring schedule?
Even the a-list actors garner no credibility. Worship of hollywierd is dying... it is and Americans are not spending money on them like they did. Look at the losses of hollyweird this year... Top A-list talents are not bringing in the audiences... they are sinking and salaries are being cut as we speak... including those of the big stars.
