White House Says Obama’s Twitter Spam Was Key To Influencing Debt Ceiling Deal…

The 36,000 followers he lost beg to differ.

(Mashable) — Appropriately, in a conversation that took place on Twitter, a White House aide said Sunday night that Twitter influenced the recently announced agreement on the U.S. debt ceiling.

The tweets were exchanged between Brian Stelter, a reporter at The New York Times, and Dan Pfeiffer, the White House communications director.

President Obama asked people to tweet at their congressmen Friday to get them to come to an agreement on setting the debt ceiling. He asked that people use the hashtag #compromise, and then his staff spent the day tweeting out the names of Republican legislators from every state.

In the process, the @BarackObama account lost 36,000 followers, but this new information indicates it may have been worth it.

    :-) They STILL think this is all about messaging.

    If every voter was 14 years old, that strategy might have worked.

    I guess he thinks if his hero Hugo Chavez can run a country via twitter he can as well. Mr. Hope and Change has ushered in a new era of leadership with internet trolling, our friggen savior. Gag me with a spoon.

    He always has a bullcrap explanation for everything. He said the Nov. elections went against him because America was tired of the two parties not getting along. What?

    I have never disliked a president as much as this clown. And I’ve been around since FDR.

    I encourage Obama to continue his self-delusioning tactics.

    If he thinks tweeting works, maybe he should get a show on QVC.

    “If every voter was 14 years old, that strategy might have worked.”

    It worked with a bunch of prepubescent idiots in 08

    Yeah, there were no tweets in 08, but they still had social networking

    Don’t worry, this will be revisted again and again and again and again to continue jacking up the Debt Limit. They will spend whatever debt increase concessions they get to bring it back to crisis as fast as they possibly can. It will be like that Islamic Doctrine of “Destroying the Infidels by their own evil House.”. It’s Satanic, but there are all too many people in Congress, in Both Parties, who are all too willing to do this.

    “Comm director Dan Pfeiffer affirms the WH believes emails/tweets helped pressure Congress to act.”

    Saying that the WH THINKS it helped doesn’t mean that it actually did. They just THINK it did.
