Oh, White House. Haven't you learned that any and all images on Twitter can and will be Photoshopped to use against you?
The President and his social media team learned the Internet's version of Miranda rights the hard way Thursday, when they tweeted an image of Obama holding a sign prompting people to sign up for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act.
President Obama: "#GetCovered because nobody should go broke just because they get sick." http://t.co/eR8TeNMAhp, pic.twitter.com/xIN98tIxLX— The White House (@WhiteHouse) December 12, 2013
It didn't take long for the Twitterverse to parody his sign, adding in their own creative copy. One of the first offenders? Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, a longtime opponent of Obamacare.
Let's just hope their healthcare covers these burns...

To add insult to injury, the White House followed up their easy-to-photoshop image, with a tweet incorrectly using the word "piece" for "peace."
