Seriously, our sides are burning with ache.
That’s right: President Obama not only said that things are working just fine and that the Obamacare product is good, but he also offered up the phone as a wave of the future!
Some people are "more comfortable working on the phone or in person" than online. Obama just said that.

No, really. It happened.
Twitter users cannot stop gasping for breath. Out: President Stompy Foot. In: President Infomercial
So do we call the 800 number to find out when the website will be fixed? #fail #tcot

How sad for our country that POTUS giving us an 800 number for healthcare program. What's next, free viagra if you call in 20min?

Good news: There's a 1-800 number. Bad news: It's manned by T-Bone.

If you call within the next few hours, 1800-OBAMA will send you your very own stethoscope and scalpel.

Upgrade technology to Jerry Brown 1992 campaign. RT @TheFix: Obama goes 800 number!

Obama is hawking the ACA 1-800 number on national tv like an infomercial salesman. Pathetic. #Obamacare

Obama reads 800 number for problems. Operators are standing by. This is starting to sound like an infomercial. Throw in a free toaster?

Snort!
Hey, what’s that magical phone number again?
Obama: Just call 1-800-f-u-c-k-y-o to get signed up!

1-800-F1UC-KYO… seriously. RT @nickgillespie: What was that 800 number again?
— Ed Morrissey (@EdMorrissey) October 21, 2013
Yep. Even the national Obamacare phone number confirms we are screwed.
As for the president’s oh-so-swift fix?

Can't make this up. Got through 800-number, followed prompts, and got referred to http://t.co/42WSNzdKsg.

Stop! Is this real life? How can we parody a self-parody? For that alone, he must pay.

That means people love it. RT @amylutz4 LOLZ THE CALL CENTER IS DOWN.
— Stephen Green (@VodkaPundit) October 21, 2013
Ha! It’s all working fine and all. The product is soooo good!
And an exit suggestion:
If you can't access the #ACA website, and the 800-number is busy, Obama urges you to write down your info and send it by carrier pigeon.
— Razor (@hale_razor) October 21, 2013
Forward!
Update:
Summed up:
Obama tells everyone to use the 1-800 number for #ACA in meantime. Phone tells callers to go to broken website. Call center down. #EPICFAIL

Not. The. Onion.
