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.
