– Valerie Jarrett to Hollywood to Get Obamacare in Movie, TV Scripts (The Weekly Standard, March 26, 2014):
‘I’m a really good nag.’
A top of advisor to President Barack Obama is in Los Angeles to try to get Obamacare written into scripts of TV shows and movies. Valerie Jarrett explained in an appearance on Top That! on PopSugar.com:
“That’s the cool thing,” a host said to the presidential advisor. “You’ve been reaching out to people that are, you know, outside of the norm of what the president might work with. Who else are you working with? Like celebrities, personalities, things like that?”
“You name it,” said Jarrett. “That’s part of why I’m in L.A. I’m meeting with writers of various TV shows and movies to try to get it into the scripts.” When Jarrett says “it into the scripts,” she’s referring to getting references to Obamacare, the president’s signature legislation, into the scripts of TV shows and movies.
She continued: “We’re talking to celebrities. We’re talking to athletes, because obviously they get injured a lot and many of them are the same age as the market we’re going after. And what they can say is, ‘Look, you never know when life is going to throw you a curve ball. You’re walking down the street, you’re a little clumsy, you trip, you fall — where do you end up? Emergency room. A couple grand just to walk in the door.”
“Right,” said the host.
“Who can afford that?” asked Jarrett.
“Nobody,” said a host.”
Jarrett would explain that mothers are really good at nagging — which is why mothers have been promoting the health care bill. “What do moms do?” asked Jarrett. “We try to take care of our children. Even when they’re grown. And what we want to do here is like nag. We’re really good at nagging. I’m a mom so I know. I’m a really good nag. And I can come at the same issue like 20 different ways until my daughter goes, ‘Ok, I’m cool, I’ll just do it.'”
Propaganda works only when you have an audience that finds the data credible. The US has gone too far, and it no longer just offends folk like me who studied history with an emphasis on the art and science of propaganda…….it is obvious to many the US media no longer covers any news.
As for putting Obama care into movies……….there are so many movies now that most people don’t see them all, and writing in pro-Obama crap won’t sell.
Obama, and the US leadership are all fools, and even the dumber people are beginning to realize it. All credibility is gone.
