Would Obama Kiss Justin Bieber to Promote Healthcare.gov?

Saturday Night Live parodied the lengths to which
President Barack Obama has gone to sell his signature health care
program, whose enrollment deadline is kinda/sorta this Monday. Cue
Kim Khardashian, Harry Styles, and Justin Bieber.

Watch as hilarity—or is it simply reality?—ensues.

Meanwhile, presidential advisor Valerie Jarrett is in Hollywood
trying to get creative types to put the wonders of mandatory
insurance into their sitcoms, movies, and dramas:

“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.

Anyone else remember the (righteous!) outrage over the White
House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) getting
involved in pushing drug-war
messaging in TV and movies?
