(16,104 posts)Without all the post-racial America comments, though. The internet is an ugly place.
I appreciate voices like yours trying to make it a better place. Please continue!

He is one hep dude.
Now people can send messages directly to the President of the United States!!
How frickin' cool is that??
I'll bet you a dollar to donuts that more people join Twitter now.
I've been there for awhile so I can follow Eva Longoria.
That girl is something special, I have to tell ya.
She's always going somewhere, or doing some fantastic social thing to help others less fortunate than her.
I remember back in 2004 some people at DU thought that she was a rightwinger just because she was from Texas and was starring in a movie at that time using guns.
As if, that would make her a rightwinger!?

I have an account but never use it, I opened it when I read Obama was going to take questions from people. Ha, it went way to fast for me to keep up~
I read Eva takes up a lot of Latino causes and giving back to the community. Good for her.

(17,656 posts)There's no doubt he is the coolest President of my lifetime, maybe ever.
He's into fashion that is so hip these days.
You can almost picture him playing a bass on stage with some other jazz players.
He's like a black James Bond!

This is not the President's first twitter account. There's also his account @BarackObama which has 59 million followers, but it's not really controlled or used by him anymore. The tweets are posted by other people working for "Organizing for Action." And the POTUS account isn't completely his either. It stays with the office. But the tweets are posted by him.
Currently at over 2 million followers now!

(87,476 posts)I so love you, such cool news!
1 Million. Five Hours.
Yes, I know there is some hate there, yet kudos to the President. He is having some fun.

(20,347 posts)but he is still so young. I can't wait to see what he'll do next!
Have you seen this exchange between him and Pres Clinton?
