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.

The celebrities don’t give a hoot about Obamacare. They want to rub shoulders with the King of the Court. They’ll do whatever curries favor.

Do any of them know the length of prison term if someone doesn't pay the Commiecare™ premium?

Are they famous? Never heard of any of them.

Third string after the NFL and NBA I guess.

Bon Jovi - big-time in-the-tank Democrat
Kal Penn - huge Lefty activist who once actually worked for the administration

The rest appear to have signed-on because they are black

In other words, “A” listers don’t want to jeopardize their careers by tying their name to this piece-of-shiite legislation.

Theyre all rich, limousine liberals. After Obamacare has long been in effect, watch them use their wealth to avoid being subjected to Obamacare.

I doubt these celebs will give up their gold standard private health insurance to join obamacare. Too bad the media won’t challenge them and Obama to do so.
