#Gen44: Conservatives Usurp Obama’s Twitter Hashtag…Again

Mar. 25, 2012 12:14am Erica Ritz

The president is promoting the Twitter hashtag #Gen44 as part of his youth outreach and, once again, conservatives have stepped in to hijack the hashtag.

On Friday, Barack Obama’s official Twitter account said, “If you’re proud of Obamacare and tired of the other side using it as a dirty word, complete this sentence: #ILikeObamacare because…”

Conservative responses included:

@JamesNolan: #IlikeObamaCare because I’m tired of making my own healthcare decisions…

@anthropocon: #ILikeObamaCare because I want unelected bureaucrats making as many personal decisions for me as possible.

@yidwithlid: #ILikeObamacare as much as I like My father-in-law’s wife

@SaintObama: #ILikeObamacare, Because I think if you work, then I should benefit.

@iowahawkblog: #IlikeObamacare because the best things in life are free. Give or take $2 trillion.

Before that, the College Democrats asked tweeters to use the hashtag #WhyImIn to describe why they’re voting for Barack Obama. Responses ranged from, “Free stuff! #WhyImIn” to “Because I want my electricity rates to necessarily skyrocket.”

And now, the Obama administration is asking people to use the hashtag #Gen44, saying “The president is counting on young people this November.”

Responses have included:

@ExJon: #Gen44 Because nothing says “youthful rebellion” like following orders from the president.

@FigDreston: #Gen44 Because I believe the largest economy the world has ever known can be run on solar panels, windmills and algae.

@SBroadie: #gen44: Because this time I want Obama to win all 57 States

@lee_ritz: #Gen44 cuz I have a masters in post modern transsexual feminist lit and $100k in student debt but for some reason can’t find a job.

@angelaisms: Because “endowed by their Creator” means “bestowed by a beneficent government.” #gen44

Many of the president’s detractors are wondering when the administration will pick up on the trend and stop issuing the hashtags. They have garnered so much attention that Friday afternoon “ILikeObamacare” was the most popular hashtag in the world (but for every positive, there were ten sarcastic negatives).

In case they continue, “#anotherObamaHashtagFAIL” has already been started.

  The latest on colonoscopies is that to save money, they aren’t going to put you under. It will save money alright. People just won’t submit to it if they have to be awake through it. THAT”S how Obamacare will work to save money and reduce services. Medical care will become so odious that people will avoid care that isn’t an emergency. And don’t forget the neurologist that went to an HHS conference and was told that people over 70 that come into the emergency room were to get comfort care only. Emergency room docs were going to be instructed not to call in the neurologists, the very people that can best treat stroke victims. It needs to be done within a short window to be effective, so this is tantamount to the refusal of care. Palin was absolutely spot on talking about the death panels, I believe they went after her with such viciousness because she saw and stated a truth that Obama and friends did not want us to know.

KICKAGRANDMA—You think prayers are the answer to everything. God gave each of us tools to use to defeat this kind of thing. He says to me, tell these people to quit dropping to there knees every time they have a problem. I gave them feet, stand on them. I gave them a brain, use it. Quit calling on me to solve the problems you have created for yourselves by being to damn lazy to use your brain before you support anyone or anything being served to you. Wake up and stay that way, FREEDOM depends on it.

  I take the attitude that prayer is a state off mind. I see God in all things, therefore I ask God for all things. If I am not God centered (prayer) , then things do not go so well for me. God is all or nothing, just like Light-how we see…it’s absence is darkness.

  Omama bamma is a real catch.. We would never be able to kiss the entire worlds A$$ If he were not the muslim man that he is. I am so thankful that he is the almighty Doctor and the salvation to my every need. And he provides for me in the Valley and the shadow of death. And delivers me from kindness and mercy. Omama bamma takes care of my very ability to breath by raising the cost of the Evil carbon that I exhale and gives my children Pink Slime in their Government Approved nutritional balanced diet as well as total indoctrination of my children so they will be as stupid as a stump. Omama bamma is our Dear Leader and we must never speak poorly of the Dear Leader. For it is his Wisdom that we are permitted to pay our very own wages into the Collective and be a Tiny part of the Greater good that the Dear Leader is Directing us to be part of. And the Great Leader desires to be all things to all People. We must allow the Dear Leader to be all things to US.
  It is foretold in the Writings of Mao, and Lenin, Stalin, Castro, And all other Socialist great Prophets.
  
  I am so very happy that America has allowed this Non American ,Un American to become the New Ruler of our Greedy and Terrible nation. The Elite Socialist Media is Omama bamma’s truth as he is too busy devising new ways for all of us to become better workers for the State. And the State is all that matters. Our own desires are second to the Desires and needs of the Great State. Our Dear Leader will never perish…
