While supporters may say Hillary Clinton was taking a lemon and making lemonade, others found her reaction to being mocked by President Barack Obama at Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner “more than a little creepy.”
The president lampooned the candidate’s efforts to appeal to younger voters by comparing her to an old fuddy-duddy relative who just opened an account on Facebook, referring to her as “Aunt Hillary.”
In an effort to soften the impact of Obama’s dig — and not alienate his crucial voting base — Clinton took to social media to offer a review of the president’s “performance,” referring to herself as “Aunt Hillary” in the process:
@potus Nice job last night. Aunt Hillary approves. #WHCD -H

The reaction on social media suggests it could be some time before Clinton lives down the “Aunt Hillary” slight… here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter:
