Why Does President Obama’s Twitter Account Follow Porn Stars?
fastcompany.com ^ | 5/13/16 | Sarah Kessler

Posted on 05/14/2016 8:47:03 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

President Obama’s Twitter account, which is run by his "Organizing for Action" staff, follows 636,000 accounts. Many of them you might expect: Michelle Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry. Even Mariah Carey and Snoop Dogg don't really raise an eyebrow. But several accounts on the presidential follow list fit a different theme: Asa Akira, a porn star who has 653,000 followers and, in her Twitter bio, states "I have an award-winning a****le." Joanna Angel (390,000 followers), who describes herself as a "multiple award winning punk porno princess;" Penthouse Pet Of The Year Nikki Benz (808,000 followers); and Ashley Steel (138,000 followers), who writes that she is a "Porn Star, Doggy mama, Happiness Junkie, XXX Model, Buddhist, & Total nerd."

The current presidential candidates seemed to have been more intentional about their follow lists, if for no other reason than that Twitter had blocked auto-following before the start of their 2016 campaigns. Nikki Benz, Penthouse's 2011 "Pet Of The Year," has followed Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump. None of them have followed back.

Hey, one can only golf so much. What else is he going to do with all his free time?

So do all the rest of us, honey. And he's currently in the White House. ;)

The media now makes excuses for the failed protege of Valerie. See, it is twitter's fault because of this:

Twitter once had an "auto-follow" feature that handled this process on behalf of users by automatically following any new followers. Twitter removed that auto-follow feature from its own site in 2009, but the capability stuck around in its API until 2013, allowing many third-party tools to set accounts to "auto-follow" regardless.

We've been told Obama was a genius at the internet, a massively intelligent cult leader whose lackeys and worshipers were so adept at understanding social media and methods of communication....but now, now that we see what has happened, the media doesn't blame the genius and his sycophants. No, no, no...the problem is with the companies on the internet.

Amazing that this "auto follow" went away the same here BO seized power, but in seven years the children at OFA and other temples of the cult were unable to figure out how to cut the fat off.

Heck, even Shrillary the old Commie and Bernie the older commie were able to figure out what Bambi couldn't.

Obama’s account, government computer, pornography? The peons would be fired for such offenses. Is there any child porn?

Because he’s an amoral, narcissistic pervert and probably a homosexual. Sorry for the redundancy.

Penthouse?
Female porn stars?

Damn!

Looks like Michelle has been using Opie’s Twitter account again while he is in the closet reading his ‘Homo Studs Monthly’ magazines.

Must be LGBT porn only. It’s a matter of principles for 0h0m0tullah.

I can understand how he’d want to benchamark a****les, because that’s a competition he could easily win.

It’s probably a Twitter account set up amd manages by one of the ValJar lackeys. His real account probably has him in a dress with a wig on whe you can’t tell it’s even him.

Kind of argues against the "auto follow" feature, or any automatic process, doesn't it?
