Hijacking #ilikeobamacare

Famous last words:

“‘You want to call it Obamacare – that’s okay, because I do care,’ Obama said.”

“‘I’m convinced at the end of the decade, the Republicans are going to regret turning this [into] ‘Obamacare,'” Plouffe said.'”

“The White House urged supporters of the law to tweet why they backed it with the hashtag ‘#ilikeobamacare.'”

Ya know, if I were the mischievous type who took some sort of twisted delight in mocking the gravely serious social commentary of my liberal betters, I might be tempted to post a few things on Twitter, like:

  1. * As a big insurance company, it’s great when the government forces the entire country to buy your product! #ilikeobamacare

  3. “Death-panelist” sounds like a cool Sci-Fi-y kinda job I could do but I can’t decide whether us Death-Panelists should be a bunch of emotionless men in white lab coats in an enormous white room or if we will all be wearing animal skins and Viking helmets sitting next to a Thunderdome!
