The White House publicly responds to Egyptian riots.... on Twitter

Twitter ^ | 1/28/11 | Robert Gibbs

[Nachum]

Very concerned about violence in Egypt - government must respect the rights of the Egyptian people & turn on social networking and internet

[A Texan]

Says the government that wants and internet “kill” button.

Unserious men, nay—children—are in control of the White House. That is the only logical conclusion.

Every body SING!

"I'm gonna wash Mubarak right out of my hair, and send him on his way...."

I saw part of Hitlery’s robotic, moronic response. The fact is: she and Hussein are clueless boobs. The 3:00 am wake up call came in at about noon today, and neither is prepared.

Gates? Ha. He has no clue either.

And Hussein’s rubber stamp NSC won’t have any meaningful input either. Time to punt: they’ll call Valerie Jarrett and that woman they have overriding Hitlery at the United Nations....I forget her name....Oh, and look for a photo op Hussein will have with John Kerry and Carl Levine—you know, to show he is “on top of the situation.”

A photo-op presidency while the world burns.

Maybe obama was figuring the people of Egypt could read his response on Twitter. Apparently he didn’t get the word that the Egyptian government had shut down all communications. I can only assume that includes twitter.

Lots of other Texas Universities make fun of Aggies and say they’re dumb. Gates doesn’t help much.

Sadly, the world is burning. And it’s more like World War I than World War II. No real leaders to see this through...

Oh for God’s sake.

Is it a snow day in DC? Maybe Malia and Natasha are having a “Go to work with Daddy day.” Responding to a potentially explosive Middle East Crisis on Twitter is not the act of a working brain cell.
