More than 19.5 million of his 36.9 million Twitter followers are accounts that don't correspond to real people.

Just d-mn!

Until Obama shows valid papers he will remain a fake...

Probably bought them with some of their campaign cash. There are many places online where they are for sale cheap.

My sister used to do this for some B and C-list Hollywood types a few year ago, when Twitter was just getting popular. In order to get on the radar, they would hire her to rustle them up some fake followers for them. Then, once they had 10 or 20,000 followers, real people would notice them and start following.

So, there is a semi-legitimate reason for “fake followers”, but really only as a PR “kickstart” for new accounts. There’s pretty much no excuse I can think of for having 19 million fake followers for a notable person that pretty much everyone on the planet knows about already. All I can think is that he did it to stroke his own ego, because he wanted more followers than everyone else.

Most things about Obama turn out to be fake. Twitter is the latest and largest.

And a lot of them are off-shore. It is clear from their grasp of the talking points that they do not understand We the People.

Goes along nicely with all the fake poll rigging done just prior to the 2012 election for the purpose of making LIV’s feel misguided if they don’t jump aboard the 0bama train! ..and it worked.
