Remember last year when Obama spoke out against cyber-bullying?
Obama on Twitter, Cyberbullying, the Internet: Play Nice - Velocity - Remaking Personal Technology - Forbes

Well, it would seem they hypocrite Twit-in-Chief thinks talking the talk is better than actually walking the walk.

Today, unable to keep it classy, Obama himself launched a twitter war:
Obama Declares Twitter War on Republicans - Debt Crisis - Fox Nation

What a twit!

I'm not saying that playing partisan isn't idiotic, but tweeting that you should contact your representative, who is an adult public figure easily communicated with on the web, is hardly cyber-bullying. That's a bit of a stretch.

Obama is providing the Repub twitter addresses, which I appreciate, I am adding the Dems that I can find, and expressing my opinion. Why would anyone find a problem with that?

You haven't heard of the bully pulpit, I see. What that man is doing is nothing short of bullying and not from his pulpit. He didn't even need a teleprompter to say all that.

I assume you are mad that he has 10,000,000 twitter followers or something?

It is not the place of the POTUS to do that himself. Dignity is seriously lacking from the Oval Office right now. Such information is easily available without Obama putting it out in his own personal tweets. Anyone who is not an Obamabot can see through this.

Now I know what compromise is from Prince Barack's words. It is Republicans give in to what the Dems want and that will be bi-partisan compromise. Now I know where these progs get their talking points about compromise. Here I thought they got them from Kos and ThinkProg and it turns out that they are getting them right from the White House. I wonder how many million of the tweet with that bunch.

Well old bob doesn't seem to see through it so he is one of the 10,000,000 he talks about. I wonder how many more of them we have to put up with all the time. I think I could name at least 50 without taxing my old brain.

Senator Collins just tweeted her thanks to those that have shown their interest and is calling for bipartisan action on the Debt issue that cuts spending and protects programs like, , SS. Wait, isn't she....isn't she.....a Repub?

Red face Twitter Backfire!

Obama loses 40,000 followers in one day. He's being "unfollowed".
