    One would expect that the flunkies representing the Prez are suitable selected and skilled enough to operate something as complicated as *gasp* a Twitter account. Candidates who fail these requirements can always be sent to go operate Koeberg, or perhaps the Department of Education even.

    Go figure. Twitter is for twits!

    How do you mean fake ?

    The account is a real account, what has obviously happened is that the PR pleb who usually does the tweeting forgot to sign out of the presidents account before she tweeted.

    It is a simple mistake. This is not a biggy.

    The more I think about it, who actually cares even If it was him? He cannot work 24/7 and is entitled to watch TV isn't he? We just all give the president a hard time whenever he does anything, me included

    Yeah, geez the responses sound like people who get upset because the Colonel didn't personally reply to their tweet about KFC.

    Must of been a really boring day for people to complain about crap like this. It's like complaining about the president acknowledging the success and talent of Ernie Els.

    The President does not seem like the one to Tweet at all on his own. I would think this is a stuff up from someone.
