A reblog yesterday on the Obama campaign's official Tumblr site of an e-card with the caption, "Vote like your lady parts depend on it," and the subsequent comment, "because they kinda do" went viral.
Yahoo News reported that even after the hashtag #LadyParts was taken down it was still being used more than 1,500 times per hour.
A staffer for the Obama campaign said that the reblog had not gone through the usual approval process, reported Buzzfeed.
Needless to say, the reblog gave those who are dissatisfied with the administration rich ammunition. Here's a sample of the tweets, as reported by Buzzfeed:
"Hi @BarackObama: maybe you should rethink giving $450 million to Egypt, where female genital mutilation is still practiced."
"Dear .@BarackObama: My #ladyparts have cancer & want Obamacare repealed so my treatment isn't rationed. They are voting for #RomneyRyan2012."
"43 straight months of unemployment above 8%. Obama campaign is focused on #ladyparts."
