Jimmy Kimmel's "Mean Tweets" segment has spawned several viral sensations, with athletes, musicians and actors reading the nasty things people say about them on Twitter in front of a camera.
When President Barack Obama visited Kimmel's show last Thursday, he asked the commander-in-chief to participate. Obama played along, and no matter how you feel about the president, the video is pretty hilarious:
The president isn't the only politician subjected to the wrath of social media. Our local officials often feel the burn of Twitter users. One favorite local target is Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter.
Since Nutter seems like a guy with a pretty good sense of humor, here are some of the best #MeanTweets about our soon-to-be former mayor:
This boy just said that Mayor Nutter looks like Mr, PotatoHead with a receding hairline ctfu
