Prez explained it time and again, but too many anti-ads and the TeaNut rallies drowned out too much.

I'm sure there are some big name Hollywood types that would do some PSAs.

My first reaction was remembering a little old lady I know who said she didn't understand what the law was but heard it was bad but later discovered it was good and she couldn't understand why it wasn't explained before it was passed.
I told her that despite all of the talk of Democrats being in bed with Hollywood they REALLY don't know how to put on a show.

They would get Obama out and then take credit as the rest of "Obamacare" kicked in.

(1,721 posts)3. This is scary. Rachel says that Dems must "sell health reform now".
When's the last time that Democrats were able to sell anything? Democrats may be smart, but persuasive arguments and selling aren't our strengths. I hope I'm proven wrong.
