President Obama will personally drop the ball on New Year’s Eve in Times Square symbolically inviting young Americans to enroll in his signature health care plan.

(2013-12-14) — In a major effort to induce young people to sign up for coverage at HealthCare.gov, the White House announced today that the Department of Health and Human Services will be “the marquee sponsor of midnight” on New Year’s Eve in Times Square, and that “President Obama will follow singer Miley Cyrus, and personally drop the ball.”

“Millions of young Americans watch the countdown in Times Square,” said press secretary Jay Carney. “The president thinks it’s a great way to visually connect and to let them know that enrolling at HealthCare.gov is hip, it’s happening, it’s now.”

Carney added that Obama hopes that “young people certainly don’t miss the symbolism as the glittering orb descends from its lofty perch and is subsumed in the melee of humanity below.”

The sponsorship decision has already paid off, according to ABC-TV, which announced that New Year’s Eve show host ****** Clark, 84, decided to enroll in ObamaCare because “I can’t be declined due to preexisting conditions.”

The President reportedly sent Mr. Clark a handwritten thank-you note, like the ones he has mailed to each enrollee so far.

So he'll get to drop the ball twice....the launch of the ACA and now this....=d>

I won't be watching this year... 🤐




some things need to be left alone.. politics shouldn't be part of this celebration.......

He dropped the ball he took office! Hasn't recovered it yet. Been on defense ever since and is still trying to recover the ball. Been one fumble or turnover after another. He has weekly conferences with Romo.

Obama and Miley... Should be entertaining.





](*,)

****** Clark will roll in his grave..

Couldn't agree more Carl....But this IS just the kind of thing a Socialist or Marxist does, they take over ALL facets of life.

well, now it become a huge security thing... they're gonna have to frisk everybody in a 5 block radias... prolly set up metal-detectors, bring out the war puppy-dogs.. this may cost more than his Hawaii Christmas vacation.... 🤔

William. it's NO problem....the printing presses haven't stopped since this crew took office!!!

It will cost more than his Hawaiian residence after he leaves office, or about the same as HealthCare.gov.
Guberment efficiency at it's finest.

Y'all do realize this is satire, don't you?

ya.. but had to run with it anyway... 🤣

why not, he has done it for 5 plus years

Wait...what?!?

I was so hoping for Kathy Griffin, Anderson Cooper and the Kenyan King swapping uncomfortable moments of silence and staring into the cameras a lot.

DARN.


Oh well...there wasn't a shot in hell I was gonna tune in anyways!

I'm sure Obama was looking forward to the Miley twerk too... of course MO woulda had her killed... 😟

Nobody cares about Dave Clark anymore.

Barry's balls already dropped.


Moochelle has them in his purse.

So we can all look forward to being entertained by a twerk and a jerk.

I wonder if he's there yet... 🤔

It'll be fine, he's a professional. [jester]
