Obama, talking to students in Shanghai: “Well, first of all, let me say that I have never used Twitter. My thumbs are too clumsy to type in things on the phone.” There is no end to his lying. Barack Obama probably doesn’t even have thumbs, like Rahm Emanuel.

There has to be a money making scheme here somewhere. I think I’ll set up a service where I will be the personal twatter for busy celebrities and politicians (like a personal shopper except with Sissy Hankshaw thumbs).
Twitter world: A place where otherwise intelligent people think all the world’s problems can be solved in 140 characters or less.
Obama however is far more intelligent than that. He knows it takes at least 150. And though Republicans still insist it can be done in less than 10, science has demonstrated that, for some problems, even tens of thousands aren’t enough. And any existentialist can demostrate that all the characters in the world won’t solve some problems. Problems, say, that revolve around moral and political value judgments.

Hey now, it’s perfectly understandable and forgivable; let’s face it, anyone intelligent would be embarrassed to admit they have a twitter feed.
I always love it when Rahm tickles my palm with his stubby (finger).
No, no, no. Rahm has thumbs. He just lacks toes. Well, unless you count the hooves as such.
How am I supposed to talk to my kids about Presidential Twittering? Thanks to this President’s lies, they’re exposed to this earlier than appropriate - impeach!!!!!
Obama Convinces Chinese Leaders They Have Nothing to Fear From ‘Twitter’

‘Tis better to not Twitter and be thought a fool, than to Tweet and remove all doubt.
iambiguous: Those 10 characters the Republans think will solve all the world’s problems are “lower taxes,” right?
Obviously Obama’s Twitter account is private, because he has a public Facebook. So any Obama Twitterer you are following is a forgery.
Oh grow up! Everyone knows Obama’s Twitter is written by the guy who grabbed Cardboard Hillary Clinton’s boob.
1001 Czars, including a Twitter Czar (See, communist)
I believe that our education like such as in Shanghai, and the Singapore, everywhere like such as…
Nothing upholds the dignity of the office like a Twitter feed.
I have not had relations with that woman, Ms. Twitter….

Actually, I was thinking of Sarah Palin. Or Glen Beckkk. But, sure, lower taxes fits too.
Hey Jimmy, Juli, there’s certain annoying blogwhore here (I’m not gonna name any names but it begins with rabblerouser and ends with 42) that has been tolerated far too long.
It’s a slow news day so far, can we please have a nasty public execution today, pretty please? I’ll buy you a “Cinnabon.”
WarAndG: This is probably the correct guess, actually! And by “czar”, you mean “unpaid intern” charged with writing twitter updates, so that Obama can honestly claim never to have used the accursed thing.
Everyone should stop using Twitter for the next two years. Hey, bashing social networks is pretty fun.
Obama has thumbs, it’s just that they’re not opposable.
From Agora Financial:
“The continuous depreciation in the dollar,” said Liu Mingkang, chairman of the China Banking Regulatory Commission, “and the U.S. government’s indication that in order to resume growth and maintain public confidence, it basically won’t raise interest rates for the coming 12 to 18 months, has led to massive dollar arbitrage speculation.”
Mr. Obama’s counterpunch: “I can tell you that in the United States, the fact that we have free Internet — or unrestricted Internet access is a source of strength, and I think should be encouraged.”
First round: China.
Could this be why no one’s taking the US (or Obama) seriously?
you cannot be serious: So, that’s what the’re calling it, now; a “palm”? Ok, then.
