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.

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.

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!

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

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?

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

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.

Apparently the propaganda is already working... Obama’s polling numbers are at 48% A, 50% D in today’s Rasmussen, and Gallup numbers are 10 points up from Thursday.

Americans are beginning to believe the lies and love the chief liar again.

Sam: "Hey, Martha. Check this out. Our premiums are three times as high as they were; we have to pay $12,500 out of pocket for medical before a dime comes back to us; we lost our doctor; and we cannot get treatment for any of our conditions. We will be bankrupt in three months."

Martha: "Who cares about all THAT???!? That's not important. What's important is these three "Obamacare success stories" NBC is featuring. Wow! Who knew things were THIS good?"

The Administration is trying to rebuild trust. It can not be done.

It is just like a cheating husband. You will wonder always if he is telling the truth.

Obama has jumped the shark. It is over.

After the “if you like your health plan you can keep it, if you like your doctor you can keep him, Period” it could be a difficult sell for the Dems, no-one should believe them. Unfortunately many will.

Les AuCoin is a writer and author, a retired nine-term U.S. congressman from Oregon, a former university professor of government.

OBAMACARE WILL OUTPERFORM 98% OF INDIVIDUAL PLANS TODAY

Some “train wreck!” A study guaranteed to make right wing Republican zealots gnash their teeth (don’t you love it when that happens?), your state’s online exchanges will provide better benefits than 98 percent of the individual plans sold today. This, according to by Healthpocket.com, a reputable insurance rating site.

Not only that, but–get ready for it–individuals with incomes up to $45,960 and families of four up to $92,200 will see significant cost discounts. It will be possible, for example, for a family of four making $40,000 and paying around $1000 a month for insurance now to buy better coverage for $165 a month.

Of course, this coverage is not as good as … say … Senator Ted Cruz’s sweet congressional insurance plan, but it’s a huge step in the right direction. Funny how Obamacare is “socialism” to Cruz and his wing nut allies in the U.S. House but their own insurance is not.

As a wise man once said, “Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.”

Is it going to make it more affordable? No?

Then it is useless.

Starting a web site for Obamacare news only.

Would appreciate feedback and ideas.

It's not a blog so ... can't post 'content' really. Here's a screenshot of what's up there now.

Constructive criticism / strategy / stories please!

If the flood gets bigger you know the lies are even bigger. It is hard to make horse manure taste good no matter how much salt, pepper and gravy is applied.

The problem with this campaign is it will just bring out many more horror stories to counter.
