The Obama’s Orderlies Award
for Championing ObamaCare

Winner

Scott Pelley (63 points)

“We got a report today about ObamaCare that was both surprising and widely misunderstood. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said about two million Americans are likely to pass up full-time jobs because of the President’s health insurance program. Those aren’t necessarily jobs being lost. They’re also workers choosing to work less.”
— Anchor Scott Pelley on the CBS Evening News, February 4.


Runners-Up

Ed Schultz (57 points)

“I’ll tell you what I think God thinks of the Affordable Care Act — it’s a big ‘amen.’”
— Ed Schultz answering viewers’ questions on MSNBC’s The Ed Show, December 4, 2013.


Bill Maher (41 points)

“I always hear that the moon landing was the last great thing that America did. I think the last great thing America did was giving health care to 30 million people. [applause] I find that to be so much more of a significant achievement than landing on the moon.”
— Host Bill Maher on HBO’s Real Time, July 25.


Ellen DeGeneres (23 points)

“It’s doing very, very well....You’ve got five million people signed up so far. [applause] An enormous number of people have signed up, so it’s successful....I think everyone’s very grateful that you did this. And I think it is important for people to sign up. It’s just better to be covered. You just never know.”
— Syndicated daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres talking to President Obama about the health care law on her March 20 show.
