The Obama administration continued its promotional campaign for healthcare reform ahead of the launch of insurance exchanges via Twitter this week. After the above update was sent from the president’s account, #WhatObamacareMeansToMe became a trending topic, but it seemed to generate more spite than support.

Twitter is good for a lot of things, but a glance at this stream shows that having intelligent conversation about politics is not one of them.
#WhatObamaCareMeansToMe A bunch of tweets demonstrating how poorly educated our country is on politics, health care, and the legal process.
