No, really. The White House launched another pitiful hashtag campaign. The latest sad attempt is about extending the Bush tax cuts. Wait, what? We thought those were evil?
Obamairony: Same ppl who claimed "Bush Tax Cuts" were only 4 rich now argue to keep them b/c they help the poor. http://t.co/JlsFpeYT

Whatever! He evolved.
Pres Obama today launches another hashtag campaign: #My2K. It's his campaign for extending middle class tax cuts but not for top earners.
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) November 28, 2012
Now with more class warfare and lies! Their earlier hashtag failures weren’t titanic enough, evidently.
Pres Obama has launched other hashtag campaigns: #40dollars for payroll tax holiday & #dontdoublemyrate for student loan interest rate bill.
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) November 28, 2012
Heh. #Dontdoublemyrate was a classic hijack, filled with comedy gold! Hey, White House, what’s the definition of insanity again? And, away they go, delusionally pimping yet another hashtag.

Pelosi gets in on the idiocy.
I join President Obama in his call on Congress to pass a middle class tax cut bill right now. #My2K
— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) November 28, 2012
Fiscal cliff, shiscal cliff. President Obama starts hashtag games. New slogan: The Hash stops here.
Happy warriors aren’t buying it, and the mockery begins swiftly.

Uhh…@whitehouse, isn't it misleading that you just retweeted someone who thinks #my2K is an additional $2k per month?!

And, the hilarious hijacking begins.
I'm enjoying the new #My2K cite created by the White House. It's not often the Obama White House pushes a Bush initiative.

Shorter Obama: only 2K is yours. The rest is mine. #my2k

FDR crushed the Nazi menace. Kennedy sent Americans to the moon. Obama started a Twitter hashtag game. #My2K

Why is it we always talk taxes…when my government's problem is spending…not tax collection #My2K
— Marc Miller- ndcajun (@ndcajun) November 28, 2012
Dear @whitehouse: May I suggest a more accurate hashtag for your #my2k propaganda campaign? How about #SeizeMy401k? #tcot #p2
— Herrmann8er (@Herrmann8er) November 27, 2012
#My2k doesn't mean crap if you keep spending! Keep taxing and we all pay the price through higher prices for consumer products.
— Scott Sebenaler (@MnHarleyRider) November 28, 2012
Well that's interesting RT @politicalmath Every time a hummingbird flaps its wings, the gov't spends #My2K (57 times per second)

Dear #My2K liberals: For all our sakes, please consult a dictionary as to the difference between "given" and "taken away." #caring

It is truly telling that the Obama administration wants to use hashtag #My2K. It's all about ME. Even though somebody else pays my salary.
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) November 28, 2012
#My2K should really be #SomeoneElses2K since people begging government not to take their money are telling them to take it from someone else

FYI @WhiteHouse: House GOP voted to stop #my2k tax rate hikes & defend #smallbiz jobs. What spending will Dems cut to stop #fiscalcliff?
— John Boehner (@SpeakerBoehner) November 28, 2012
Doug Benson gets in on the action.
The President of my country asked me to tweet #MY2K. Done. Now I"m asking him to stop the war on drugs. #AndWarsInGeneral @BarackObama

Heh.
Oh, it’s trending.

#Protip for the @WhiteHouse: If you're going to make the hard sell on a hashtag, buy the rights to promote it first. Idiots. #My2K
— Bethany S. Mandel (@bethanyshondark) November 28, 2012
Bless your heart!
And, a three-way tie for the win.
#Y2K was caused by programmers failing to limit date codes to 4 places. #My2K was caused by Americans failing to limit Obama to 4 years.
— Michael Deppisch (@deppisch) November 28, 2012
#My2K is just a warm-up. We'll know Obama is really serious about the fiscal cliff when he creates a Pinterest board.
— jon gabriel (@exjon) November 28, 2012
If tax cuts get extended for 98%, give O White House credit for the #My2K hashtag. Give Pres. Bush credit for the tax cuts.
