ELDERLY SPOKESPERSON The administration hires legend Andy Griffith for a Medicare commercial where he tells seniors more good things are coming under the health care law.

"Andy Griffith is a totally unreliable source for an evaluation of Obama-care. He is a performer, paid with taxpayer money to do the commercial." Christina Pasterz Glendale, AZ
