Obama Mocked Zach Galifianakis to Pitch Healthcare + It Worked - VIDEO

Yesterday President Obama went on Zach Galifianakis' mock interview show Between Two Ferns to be amusing while not so subtly promoting the Healthcare website. And it actually worked.

Apparently insulting one another is the best form of promotion, because the top referrer to Healthcare.gov yesterday was none other than the Funny or Die video.

Reported the White House Senior Communications Adviser Tara McGuinness via Twitter (because this administration is super hip with the kids):

Not everyone was pleased with the stunt however, Bill O'Reilly (who doesn't know how the tides work) went on to rant about how Abraham Lincoln would not have used comedy to promote Obamacare. Partially because he's dead and partially because he wouldn't know what that is.

If you happened to miss the FoD video from yesterday, you can check it out HERE and head below to see Bill O'Reilly being a crazy person who doesn't understand how parody works. So really nothing new here.
