President Barack Obama takes debt battle to Twitter, loses more than 40,000 followers in one day (http://www.nydailynews.com/tech_guide/2011/07/29/2011-07-29_bams_spam_president_barack_obama_takes_debt_bat tle_to_twitter_loses_more_than_20.html - broken link)
President Obama brought his debt battle to Twitter and he lost – more than 40,000 Twitter followers.

Many members of the Twitterati took to the social media platform to voice their annoyance over the barrage of partisan tweets. A search for “@BarackObama unfollow” turned up scores of irritated posts.
“Honestly, @BarackObama, I’m going to have to unfollow you if you don’t stop filing up my Twitter inbox soon,” tweeted Bostonian @melisthreadgill, a self-described “Progressive activist”.
“Can’t believe I had to unfollow @BarackObama for spamming Twitter. Really, really strange behavior,” wrote @Arevill inConnecticut.
“I want to unfollow @BarackObama but his desperation is too entertaining,” tweeted @rdpatrick of Lavonia, Georgia.
To note - he still has over 9 million followers. So he's not hurting in this area too much.
Obama's twitter spam is finally waking up some of the sheeple. It was a disruptive and highly intrusive attempt at manipulation that clearly backfired.
If I had more patience I'd do a search to see if you ever got up in arms about being called a racist.
Obama lost followers because the account sent out about 100+ tweets yesterday. When accounts do that, people unfollow and then come back when things calm down else they can't read their feeds.
