Michelle Obama tweets -- and celebrates
LA Times blog ^ | 10/21/10 | Amy Hubbard

It's being referred to as First Lady Michelle Obama's first official tweet, though she's tweeted before (kind of).

The first lady tweeted solo for the first time Wednesday night before the first pitch was thrown at Game One of the World Series. After asking a few technical questions, she pushed the right laptop buttons and sent out her tweet pushing her "Joining Forces" agenda, giving hope to all Twitter-challenged people in America.

"I did it!" she said, raising her hands in the air triumphantly.

The tweet: "Military families serve our nation too. Let's show our appreciation by Joining Forces with them. Get involved." She personalized it with her lowercase initials at the end: "mo."

Michelle Obama and Jill Biden were at the game to promote the first lady's initiative to help military families.

The White House said: "In concert with Major League Baseball, Mrs. Obama and Dr. Biden will be encouraging Americans to recognize and serve veterans, service members and their families as part of their Joining Forces initiative and MLB’s Welcome Back Veterans program."

There is a Twitter War going on.

Earlier, I bashed the Libs with Obama’s low Gallup poll, with a link (Ha-ha suck on that!).

Just add #p2 (and/or #dem or #liberal) to your tweet and the Liberals will see it because they use those searches to keep in contact with each other.

They do it back to us by adding #tcot and/or #teaparty.

Back and forth it goes - it’s never ending.

But is it really that hard to learn? MO must take comfort in accomplishing easy tasks.

This is a campaign of “MASS DESCEPTION” these fake phoney frauds are following in thier husbands footsteps as well as most of these decietful parasites throughout this administration have been doing for 3 years. Thier job is to appeal to the mothers, grandmothers, children, daughters and the young with compassion, caring, loving and nurturing advise and community organization to rally behind her husband and help him make the changes the teaparty movement and republicans “do not want you to have”. If you tell a lie enough it becomes truth. We have a long tough road ahead and this may be our last chance to set things straight come 2012. They will not go quietly

Twitter is easy.

Sign up for free and if you are a Tea Party person and want to see what is up with other Tea Party people then type #teaparty in the search box and you will get all the tweets that people make with #teaparty in it.

#tcot (top conservatives on Twitter) is a good too.

The Liberals know this so they Tweet insults and lies about the Tea Party and include #teaparty so Tea Party people will see it.

That’s what I do back to them with #liberal. I could rank on Moochelle all day. LoL!

Should have read “First Lady Michelle Obama’s first official oink”.
