Consulting Firm Tied to White House Given Millions in Health Care Ad Campaign

A media consulting firm with ties to White House senior strategist David Axelrod has been hired to produce a multi-million dollar ad campaign touting the Obama administration's health care overhaul.

But while lobbying analysts say the move is logical, some Republicans are questioning whether Axelrod stands to gain from the profits.

AKPD Message and Media, founded by Axelrod, along with firm GMMB, were paid $12 million by Health Economy Now and Americans for Stable Quality Care, a coalition that includes Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America, or PhRMA, to produce ads promoting President Obama's health care reform.

The firms received over $300 million to manage ads for Obama's presidential campaign.

NOW it makes sense. Obama is Axelrod’s puppet, with Alinsky as the mastermind and Soros’ money. Obama has been in such a freakin’ hurry because he knows what side his bread is buttered on. Bad grammar, but hey . . . I’ve about had it with this imposter president.

I think Alexrod is just the ShamWow guy who sold America the mystery in the bright, shiny (clean, articulate) package. Now he's trying to sell the accessories that go with it. I think it's much more likely Rahm's hand is up the President's derriere, making his lips move.

Ad campaigns to tell us how good this ‘reform’ is for us. They KNOW we don’t want it and now the propaganda ad campaigns will start by the same group who got him elected. We’ll see how many sheep will fall back in line w/this propaganda. I hope those that are awake now stay awake!

You have to love the gall of Democrats. They are going to run ads of Gramma, bundled up in her little house eating cat food because she can't afford to pay for food, heat and her medicine - ads paid for by ... pharmaceutical companies.

The Left won’t care.

And the media won’t report.

That would be my contention as well. And he has the other hand up Axlerod.
