Jon Lovett used to write speeches for Obama. Then he co-created 1600 Penn, a sitcom set in the White House that ran for 13 episodes earlier this year.
I don’t know what he’s doing for a living now, but if his Twitter feed is any indication, he has a bright future in comedy. Courtesy of the indomitable Twitchy.com:
Get it? Because Healthcare.gov is a disaster.
It’s anybody’s guess why Lovett has since deleted those awesome gags, but it sounds like some of those mean teabaggers have been giving him the business:
We have a rigid policy here at the @jonlovett feed of not blocking anyone in the spirit of “bring it on, psychos” but you’re testing me.

Hang in there, Jon! Sticks and stones may break your bones, but you’ll have to set them yourself.
Update: Ah, the good old days…
All this fighting over Obamacare it's enough to forget it's one of the greatest legislative achievements in American history
