Among influential U.S. political tweeters, President Barack Obama is the undisputed king of the fake followers. A MailOnline analysis ranks his sizable Twitter following as the most deceptive total among the 21 most influential accounts run by American politicians: More than 19.5 million of his 36.9 million Twitter followers are accounts that don't correspond to real people.
The four phoniest accounts in the sample, which included Democratic and Republican Party leaders in Washington, D.C., were those belonging to President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, first lady Michelle Obama and the White House communications shop.
Of the president's 36.9 million Twitter followers, an astonishing 53 per cent – or 19.5 million – are fake accounts, according to a search engine at the Internet research vendor StatusPeople.com. Just 20 per cent of Obama's Twitter buddies are real people who are active users.

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.

Undocumented Moslem Tyrant’s pro-Jihad pro-terrorist AG:
”Yes, they may be fake followers,
but each is DO"J"-verified as a real voter."
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.
His entire life is a fake.
