Barack Obama joins Twitter, follows every Chicago sports team except Cubs
The president of this fine nation started his own Twitter account Monday — @POTUS, which is different from the staff-run @BarackObama account. Given his first tweet, we’re expecting to see more of his personality shine through, as opposed to just campaign/bureaucratic stuff:
And given Obama’s follow list, we’re definitely seeing more of his own personal preferences. Take a gander at this chunk of the 65 accounts he initially followed.
See what’s missing? Yep, he followed all the Chicago pro sports teams except for one — the Chicago Cubs. As we all know, Obama is a big sports fan and his baseball allegiances belong to the Chicago White Sox.
He didn’t even play it politically correct and follow the Cubs. That’s ice cold. Of course the Cubs noticed:
At the very least, the Cubs (21-16) can be happy knowing they’ve got four more wins so far this year than the White Sox (17-17). A Twitter follow from the president don’t get you into the playoffs, ya know?
