wyo sis said...: What a perfect forum for a person who can't string a coherent sentence together without a teleprompter. Short meaningless answers to desperate question. The great American political stonewall gets an upgrade.; 5/24/12, 11:57 PM

"I refuse to let mkt hit bottom"

Yes, we all know the President controls the markets (and I'm sure Little Zero thinks he can).

"remember we're not D's or R's but americans first!"

The people who believe "barack" deserve him; the rest of us have had more than enough.

In the old days, I believe it was drawn and quartered. Today, dinner with Barack and Moochelle.; 5/25/12, 6:04 AM
Brian Brown said...: Yes!

Because America needs a President that controls the housing market!; 5/25/12, 6:04 AM
Robert Cook said...: How perfect for a politician to use Twitter to "talk" with his base...questions pertaining to serious, even critical matters, (e.g., people losing homes in foreclosure, students drowing in loan debt, high unemployment), are replied to with subtanceless Tweet-koans, (e.g., "I won't let mkt hit bottom"), saying nothing, explaining nothing, and yet arousing in the participating constituents the fleeting thrill of having participated in an illusory "conversation" with their candidate.; 5/25/12, 6:58 AM
Aridog said...: Twitter's 140 character limit is the perfect format for Obamessiah. He can even manage it without a teleprompter ... most of the time.; 5/25/12, 7:24 AM
Matt Sablan said...: I understand abbreviations are a necessary evil on Twitter... but not when you are not going to hit the character limit.; 5/25/12, 7:25 AM
MadisonMan said...: oh ugh...apostrophe catastrophes.

We're not D's or R's

Chip S. said...: ...arousing in the participating constituents the fleeting thrill of having participated in an illusory "conversation" with their candidate.

The tweets he replied to were "selected" hours in advance, presumably because the WH wanted to avoid another "askMichelle" fiasco. I doubt that the WH interns who wrote the tweets were all that excited about getting replies that they also wrote.; 5/25/12, 7:31 AM

cassandra lite said...: Hey, dude: It's already started. Apparently you're the last to know.

As usual, Mr. Cool thinks nothing happens without him.; 5/25/12, 7:43 AM

Phil 314 said...: Was he assisted by his Twitter czar?; 5/25/12, 8:21 AM
Franklin said...: I mean - (assuming it really was him) somebody told him not to capitalize his name or put spaces before/after the hyphen. It was clearly deliberate.

Why? I suppose it makes him look authentic - like he's 1) really typing it 2) like he's so busy getting on the campaign trail he just dashed off a little tweet before he rolled 3) it's the way those damned kids are writing these days...

I find the faux authenticity very creepy.; 5/25/12, 8:27 AM
Calypso Facto said...: The Black Eyed Peas song "Let's Get It Started" was just a PC-worded re-make of their original song "Let's Get Retarded".
