Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) April 24, 2012Whoopsies! Yet another hash tag fail for Team Obama. Fresh on the heels of his ludicrous and transparently pandering speech at the University of North Carolina, comes yet another embarrassment.
If Congress doesn’t act, more than 7 million students will pay double the interest on their student loans starting July 1. #DontDoubleMyRate—

WH assumes it's a good thing when their hashtags trend. Bad idea. It usually just means it's become a viral joke. #dontdoublemyrate—

Yep. Panderer-in-Chief + whining adult children = comedy gold in the form of #dontdoublemyrate. No matter how hard some in the media try to spin it.
The White House does seem to have chosen a hashtag, #dontdoublemyrate, that's a lot harder to spoof—

Even Speaker Boehner weighs in.
With student loan mess, Democrats are reaping what they sowed bit.ly/JvI5Mh #dontdoublemyrate—
Speaker John Boehner (@SpeakerBoehner) April 24, 2012
Bingo. Also reaping what they have sown? The “youth vote” who came out for Obama. Be careful what you wish for, kids. You probably didn’t learn that in college.
