COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS OPEN: BRAD PAISLEY AND CARRIE UNDERWOOD MOCK OBAMACARE

COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS OPEN: BRAD PAISLEY AND CARRIE UNDERWOOD MOCK OBAMACARE --- Wednesday night's CMA (Country Music Association) awards opened up with a bang, incorporating Kenny Rogers, the Robertson family from "Duck Dynasty," and even a little Obamacare mockery.

"Why's it smokin'?" Paisley continued.
