That’s right, hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood had a special segment and even song mocking the failed health care rollout that featured the pair pretending to sign up for Obamacare and then crooning about the failure.
It all started while the pair was singing a new version of “Why Can’t We Be Friends” that faked feuds between some of country music’s biggest stars (including Kenny Rogers) and Paisley stopping abruptly to complain about back pain. That’s when Underwood suggested trying to sign up for Obamacare.
“I started signing up last Thursday and I’m almost done,” she said with a fake smile. “Let’s go to the website and get you signed up.”
That elicited laughs from the crowd as the pair went and grabbed a computer.
“Why’s it spinning?” Paisley asked.
“Oh, it does that,” Underwood responded.
“Why’s it smokin’?” Paisley continued.
“Umm, I don’t know,” Underwood said, looking concerned into the camera. “Maybe we should restart it.”
From there they broke out into a spoof of George Straight’s classic “Amarillo by Morning,” instead singing “Obamacare by morning/ Why’s this taking so long?/I’m going to end up with hemorrhoids/If I sit here ’til dawn.” It continued from there, even taking a shot at the reports that only six people were able to sign up the first day.

Gotta love it!
Thank you Brad and Carrie. Ridicule is a potent weapon.
The most deadly thing to the revolutionary socialist government is ridicule. Make no mistake,, this enrages the White House.
This is why I love the country music awards..did you hear everyone in the audience applaud and laugh..God Bless Nashville..you just know Obama’s minions are going to go after them both for making fun about their beloved messiah
that was awesome!
“The most deadly thing to the revolutionary socialist government is ridicule. Make no mistake,, this enrages the White House.”
I was thinking the same thing. not trying to be funny, but I think we’re less than five years away from that scene in “V”.....”not so funny now, is it, funnyman”.
How many in the audience that laughed that voted for him once?
Twice?
ha ha ha.
Funny skits are going to stop the behemoth. s/
The first time I saw these two try to act was the last time I’ll ever see it. That was several years back.
And today’s “country” music sucks. I think they use the same background singers on every song.
That was pretty good, worked with audience
“Obamacare by morning. Over six people served”
I saw Taylor Swift in the front row but was not sure of her reaction as it was so short the camera pass by of her.
Obamacare by morning! ha
It was a little awkward in the beginning, seems Carrie was more into it than Brad Paisley. He did that nervous giggle but then caught on.
Mock & ridicule often...commies hate it!
I saw that. And the crowd cheering....
That they are even brave enough to challenge the media’s Current Truth says a lot for these people.
Brad is a lib who gave a private party showing at this very White House, it took guts to do this and break with his fellow lib artists. I’m thinking they both get audits every year for a decade..........
& not a huge country fan but love that George Strait won...
“Funny skits are going to stop the behemoth. s/”
They sure can...
Just ask Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and Sarah Palin about that.
My take was Swift was having a cow watching and hear her beloved Obama being milked for humor. At first I didn’t think she caught the joke and then it appeared she didn’t like it, but that is mostly a SWAG on my part. Most everyone else seemed to appreciate it.
Swift is talented but an immature dipshi%.
She’s like a future Sheryl Crow, talent but single forever because every guy bails.
I doubt Taylor Swift even knows what Obamacare is..she had that DUH look on her face..deer in a headlight
She is just 23, and spends almost all of her time touring. I’d cut her a break on that one.
She knows, she’s been cozy with the Kennedys. I’m sure she’s been groomed to the dem point of view, social justice and all that feel good crap.
Twitter went nuts with #obamacountrysongs, some were really clever and funny.
Yeah I saw those songs posted on twitter they were hilarious..of course the libs got pissed and told everyone to shit the f up lol..awe they just can’t take it when someone makes fun of their messiah yet they have no problem wishing death to conservatives
