Now this is just getting pathetic. I did sort of agree with Rob that Obama was surprisingly funny on Zach Galifianakis's show yesterday, but that doesn't change the fact that it's beyond pathetic when the president of the United States has to go on a show like that in a desperate attempt to get people to sign up for his health care disaster.
But even that looks like a stroke of genius compared to this:
You remember Lance Bass, right? You don't? You've never heard of him? OK, well there used to be these things called "boy bands," which would typically consist of four or five pretty boys who didn't actually play any instruments (thus you could object to the use of "band" if you wanted to press technicalities), but they tended to be popular with 13-year-old girls so what did they care if you didn't like them? Anyway, Lance Bass was in one, and it was called NSYNC.
And that, dear friends, earned him an invitation to the White House today in the hope he could help persuade all those hip happenin' kids to get ObamaCare, which of course requires you to go to HealthCare.gov in the vain hope that it might be working today. Was Lance willing to help? Sure was!
Ahem, Lance . . . that would be HealthCare.gov, bro. Not that it matters because the site rarely works, but Obama would probably appreciate it if you can get the web address correct before you tweet it. (Thanks to the Heritage Foundation for screen-capturing the tweet before Bass deleted it.)
This is pathetic, but then, they are desperate. Fewer than a million people signed up in February, and that doesn't even take into consideration how many never paid their premiums and never will. ObamaCare is on a pace to fall woefully short of the number it needs for the system to be financially feasible, and that's before we dig down and find out if the sick-to-healthy and old-to-young mixes are what's needed, which they will almost certainly not be.
So all you NSYNC fans who are still out there - all six of you - go right now to HealthCare.org! Lance Bass says to do it. Whoever he is.
