Take Back The House: Conservative billionaires Charles and David Koch have been two of the biggest financial backers of efforts to impede President Obama’s agenda. During a Thursday speech, the president called out the two major right-wing donors over their efforts to undermine the Affordable Care Act. “Some of the Tea Party’s biggest donors, some of the wealthiest men in America, are funding a cynical ad campaign trying to convince young people not to buy health care at all,” he said. “I mean think about it: These are billionaires several times over—you know they’ve got good health care.” Obama was referring to the now-famous “Creepy Uncle Sam” ads put out by Generation Opportunity, which has financial ties to the Koch Brothers. The commercials, featuring a puppet Uncle Sam about to perform intimate medical procedures on a young man and woman, urge millennials to “opt out” of Obamacare."
