First Lady Michele Obama in an interview on the “Tonight Show” joked that young people were “knuckleheads” who often had unexpected accidents and needed Obamacare. “A lot of young people think they're invincible, but the truth is that young people are knuckleheads,” Obama told new host Jimmy Fallon on the late night show. ‘They’re the ones who are cooking for the first time and slice their finger open, they’re dancing on the bar stools,’ she continued to laughter. “But while young people think they’re invincible, they’re not.” The first lady has taken a prominent role in the administration’s push for more young people to sign up for Obamacare’s insurance exchanges. But the administration is still behind their targets. Young, healthier consumers are needed to enroll to keep the health law afloat and balance the larger numbers of older, sicker patients expected to sign up. President Obama on Thursday also said that Obamacare enrollments were “close to 4 million” suggesting a continued surge in sign-ups, but leaving the administration still short of their 7 million target by the end of March 31. The first lady’s comments came during a light interview with the new host of the iconic late night TV show.”The Young are knuckleheads, Mrs. Obama? And you, a powerful intellectual elitist has just gone on national TV in a desperate attempt to get enough “knuckleheads “ to sign up for this Ponzi scheme? With all due respect, Mrs. Obama, the real “knuckle heads” are folks like you and the president and most Democrats who think that young Americans can be lied to and fooled into accepting Marxist health care!
