New Obamacare Twitter Campaign Asks People To Tweet Pictures Of Their Personal Injuries

Who would have guessed?

On Wednesday, President Obama asked everyone to start Tweeting photos of their personal injuries.

The initial reaction was mixed:

.@BarackObama does a photo of me in bondage count

.@BarackObama wanted to be the leader of the free world. Ended up a second-rate insurance salesman.

@BarackObama This is unreal. You're asking people to possibly fake injuries to make a point about healthcare? REALLY?

But then people actually started tweeting their injuries.
