"... 12 million views, sent nearly a million people to Healthcare.gov ... Scuba Mar 2014 #12

The point was to appeal to a "younger" crowd... blueamy66 Mar 2014 #20

right. NM_Birder Mar 2014 #22

Is your issue primarily with the comedy or the ACA? CJCRANE Mar 2014 #25

Dignified comedy ? NM_Birder Mar 2014 #27

That was my point. Comedy is not dignified. But Obama's appearance on a comedy show is not unique. CJCRANE Mar 2014 #31

OK NM_Birder Mar 2014 #35

I never said it was funny. I didn't even watch it*. But my point stands. CJCRANE Mar 2014 #36

*the main clip ? NM_Birder Mar 2014 #43

You win, "dignified comedy" ............ NM_Birder Mar 2014 #30

No, I don't think comedy is dignified. That is my point. Nor is it unique for a president. nt CJCRANE Mar 2014 #33

Because others share different opinions about comedy LanternWaste Mar 2014 #59

What do you think about Michelle Obama blueamy66 Mar 2014 #47

I think you are having trouble justifing the BRILLIANCE NM_Birder Mar 2014 #49

why do you keep calling the ACA a mandate? Dyedinthewoolliberal Mar 2014 #76

The ACA is law, NM_Birder Mar 2014 #81

are you sure? Dyedinthewoolliberal Mar 2014 #83

Yeah, I'm sure NM_Birder Mar 2014 #85

it was beneath the president, what i said from the begining. NM_Birder Mar 2014 #23

You seem to have an issue with the ACA CJCRANE Mar 2014 #24

What does the mandate have to do with the comedy? CJCRANE Mar 2014 #28

It's a comedy clip encouraging people to sign up for healthcare. CJCRANE Mar 2014 #74
