White House looks to spread good Obamacare news (Did WILLIAM RIVERS PITT Act as Flack?)

If Democrats get their way, the next phase of the Obamacare wars will see something unusual: a flood of success stories.

The White House, Democratic lawmakers and advocacy organizations will launch a campaign this week to highlight real-life experiences under the Affordable Care Act — tales so compelling that they help drive up enrollment, marginalize Republican repeal efforts and erase memories of this fall’s HealthCare.gov debacle.

White House officials and congressional aides say they have been lining up consumers and vetting their stories to tell through videos, blogs, local news, press conference calls and Twitter feeds, including those of celebrities.

And perhaps online forum posts? The reason why I ask this is that WILLIAM RIVERS PITT recently posted a feel-good POST about how EASY it was to sign up with ObamaCare (although he couldn't really complete the process). His post just OOZED with phony promotional flackery. So the question is, was WILLIAM RIVERS PITT, contacted by Democrats to promote ObamaCare (his father was once Democrat Chairman of Alabama). Oh, and did he actually get around to completing the process and PAY for Obamacare. I have to wonder about this because since his flack-sounding post for ObamaCare, he has gone entirely SILENT on the subject.

Yes, they are going to try to convince the LIV’s that if you pick up this turd by the clean end it isn’t so bad after all.

Okay, this isn't a DUFU edition but it does have to do with the recent DUFU about WILLIAM RIVERS PITT hyping the "ease" of signing up for ObamaCare (although he was UNABLE to complete the process). His post just oozed with obvious promotional flackery so one has to wonder if Pitt posted his flack job at the request of Democrats.

The Conservative Cave might want to look into this matter.

[Chode]

and WHY would a celebrity need 0care???

[Iron Munro]

The corrupt media put The Poser in office and worked hard to keep him there.

No reason to expect that they will not get back on board the Obama Express to help him convice people that his Obamacare crap sandwich is really the finest chocolate.

[Spok]

The media will continue to suppress and censor stories about the catastrophic consequences of those who lose their healthcare coverage. In about a week, people who depend on chemotherapy and dialysis treatments will be without coverage. Other than on Fox news and in the WSJ, let’s see how much play their stories will get in the mainstream media.

I was suspicious of that post when you posted it. Both Pitt and another DUmmie posted how easy it was and ended their BS post with “Thanks Obama”. It reminded me of the libliar who called Hannity a number of years ago and told Sean that he drives a HONDA Prius. LOL!

[Pearls Before Swine]

The thing about 50’s Soviet propaganda was that it had degenerated to the point where it was laughable. These efforts are no better.

[PJ-Comix]

Please note that Pitt never followed up his post and went complete SILENT on the subject. No followup with something like, "HEY, I finally signed up and made my payment!"

Knowing Pitt like we do you just know he would have let one and all know about signing up. It's like we never hear him anymore bragging about how he "quit" smoking. Subsequent pics of Pitt with a cigarette in his mouth gave lie to that claim.

I hope the Conservative Cave investigates Pitt's ObamaCare claim.

tales so compelling that they help drive up enrollment, marginalize Republican repeal efforts and erase memories of this fall’s HealthCare.gov debacle.

I'd say that this is more probable than not. The media should get behind this, 100%.

If a cancer patient loses his coverage and there is no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?

[Cyber Liberty]

I don’t know why a trust-fund boy would be poking around the Obastardcare website, unless it’s for propaganda purposes.

[Cyber Liberty]

Thanks for the ping, Peej.

"C'mon folks! Log on to HealthCare.gov and enter all your PII (Personally Identifiable Information) and bank account data! Have no fear - it's secure!"

Ya think?! What an idiot flak he is. Your ins policy didn’t cover anything to begin with according to him. And only a small percentage are getting cancelled. In other words, he knows more about your ins policy than you do. You aren’t smart enough to buy your own ins. Doesn’t he sound like the typical arrogant liberal fool?

Cliff Note version for Pitt...mind your own damn business, I’ll handle mine.

BTW, I guarantee Obama good news stories won’t include real names because we can research them for the truth.

*******

Pitt...

Please stop deploying Denial-of-Service tools to disrupt the process.

Please stop forwarding flatly deceptive articles about “Obamacare” ruining lives.

Please take some time to understand why a very small percentage of insurance policies are getting re-defined or cancelled. Cliff Notes version: those policies didn’t cover anything, and the insurance companies involved were pretty much basically stealing.

According to ENROLL MAVEN only a little over 1500 "enrollments" in ObamaCare in New Hampshire as of the beginning of this month. Since it has been estimated that only 5 to 10 percent of "enrollments" have actually paid, as few as 75 REAL(meaning PAID) enrollments in NH. It would be easy to check on whether Pitt actually completed the process. Perhaps a homework assignment for a reporter at the Manchester Union Leader. Pitt can be located in the most lilly white part of the New Hampshire forest where he escaped to upon leaving the mean streets of the Boston area.

[PJ-Comix]

Was Pitt honest on his ObamaCare “enrollment” (he has not yet paid) and checked the box for “smoker” or did he LIE and claim not to be a smoker?

[mikrofon]

Obamacare “Flack” promos:

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Page
I Just Came Here to Sign Up
Killing Me Softly (with His Song & Dance)
The Closer I Get To You (The Worse It Is)
Where Is The Care?

[kcvl]

No, he is not honest so why would he start now?

[867V309]

It ain't goin' away. The corrupt media can spin things apart from us, but not things integral to us like health care/health insurance/financial oblivion.

[Sooth2222]

Yes, they are going to try to convince the LIV’s that if you pick up this turd by the clean end it isn’t so bad after all.

So far, Obamacare has performed even below my expectations for it, which were pretty low to begin with. I never would have predicted that they couldn't even develop a website that worked. But as others have suggested, the real problems will begin on Wednesday.

Ben Stein has said that it's the Republicans' task to fix Obamacare -- so I'm guessing that this is the main stream Republican thought. Except I don't see how the US health care system is fixable at this point, even if Obamacare was to be repealed. If the Republicans leave their fingerprints anywhere on this disaster, they're nuts.
