Home for the holidays

When Organizing for Action (Obama's renamed 2012 campaign PAC) puts this kind of propaganda on TV, you know the Affordable Care Act is failing in far more ways than just its unworkable web site or myriad delayed mandates. All the polls say young adults aren't buying it, literally.



POTUS and FLOTUS ran this same play in the Oval Office Wednesday with a photo-opp group of "moms" before packing for the First Family's first-class, 17-day Hawaiian vacation.

The unsaid message here is . . . Sign up to subsidize your parents' health insurance or else we'll fine you.

The administration's tin ear is also evident on Twitter.

According to Gallup:

"72 percent of Americans say 'big government' is a greater threat to the U.S. in the future than is big business or big labor, a record high in the nearly 50-year history of this question. The prior high for big government was 65% in 1999 and 2000.

"Gallup has documented a steady increase in concern about big government since 2009, rising from 55% in March 2009, to 64% in 2011 and 72 percent today. This suggests that government policies specific to the period, such as the Affordable Care Act - perhaps coupled with recent revelations of government spying - may be factors."
