>> okay. >> all right. hop up here. lay down and bring your knees to your chest. >> remember that creepy uncle sam anti-obama care ad that ran last fall? how could you forget it? gave the not so subtle impression signing up for obamacare was the ultimate case of political submission. here's another negative ad, from the koch brothers-backed americans for prosperity. >> obamacare is dangerous. it can't be implemented. our government is not organized to take care of us. they aren't. they can't. >> according to the "washington post," americans for prosperity spent $30 million since last july on a...
