This just seems so fitting for the times we live in. A bunch of fluff and little substance.




Barack Obama is political king of the fake Twitter followers, with more than 19.5 MILLION online fans who don't really exist

Yep...that's the way it works now in our plastic world...PR firms and fake good reviews on everything and an American public with the attention span of an ADD 5yo at a carnival....we have not yet reached the bottom of the barrel,but we can sure see the dregs at the bottom pretty easy now.

Obama, with over half his followers as fake? Typical.

Twitter? What IS that, anyway?
Is it similar to "Texting"? I don't do that, either.

Got a better source to back your claims, a known biased right-wing site is not acceptable as the only source when making such claims.

Of course, the article does state:

"The difference between fake followers and 'real' ones is comprised of 'inactive' accounts, which may relate to real people but no longer send tweets with any regularity."

On 6 November 2012, Barack Obama had 62,611,250 supporters.
That's the only poll that matters.
