Nearly 2 million of First Lady Michelle Obama's Twitter followers are not real.

According to the Twitter analytics application Status People, 37 percent of Michelle Obama's 5,290, 506 Twitter followers - or approximately 1,957,487 followers - are considered fake. Thirty-five percent of her followers are inactive, and 28 percent are considered "good," or real.

Michelle Obama's account is run by Organizing for Action, and sent its last Tweet on March 4. It was a retweet of a message sent by the Twitter account of the First Lady's Let's Move initiative.

The official Twitter account for the Office of the First Lady is @FLOTUS. Only 25 percent of the account's 513,026 followers are considered fake. 38 percent are inactive, and 37 percent are considered "good."

Percentage-wise, she still fared better than President Barack Obama. Over half of Obama's Twitter followers, according to a Sept. 20 Daily Caller report, are fake - 55 percent, or 20.2 million out of 36.8 million followers, to be more exact.

lol

twitter tallies,,,,,

i'm guessing this is important information...

Celebrities count their followers towards how popular they are and compete all the time. If you don't have many followers, then it is an indication that ... nobody cares what you have to tweet.

Jeannie, your so tweet.

To narcissists like the Obama's it is!

even if it is only Make-Believe!

its social medium of the times,, get over it,, seriously

Obama didn't start this thread,, lol

I thought this thread was about his half-twit worshippers.

Just more evidence that Obama is a compulsive liar and fabricates things. Kinda like the other day when he didn't realize he had a hot mic on and told a High Ranking Official he hasn't smoked in over 6 years but both Michelle and Obama's doctor said it was late 2010 which id less then three years.

More proof he is a compulsive liar and will even lie about the most trivial things!

it is a trivial thing, I chalk it up to testosterone, haven't met a man who doesn't 'aggrandize' things to other men


like bushs trivial story about having seen the first plane crash live on 9/11,which wouldn't have been possible

A good observer or investigator NEVER sluffs off a so-called "trivial" thing. There is always a reason.

Liars are liars. It comes natural to them.

Bush's story however, which he told TWICE, is very odd indeed. Even if it was "impossible" as you say, he did tell the story.... If he didn't see a video of the first plane hitting the tower, then he proved to everyone that he just makes stuff up! (Lies) constantly. If he did see a video of the first plane hitting the tower, then that opens up a whole different can of worms.... he would have had to be watching a live feed of the incident and that means that the government knew it was going down in advance and filmed it.

Impossible...

So I prefer to believe that Bush is just an idiot who rambles on and on and makes stuff up off the top of his head.

I Tend to believe we could catch everyone in occasional lies, or exaggerations, especially people who have very busy lives

and that having lied, doesn't mean that someone is lying 'constantly' or a habitual liar

You are probably right about people lying and it does not mean that they do it habitually, but it is like alcoholism, it elevates and gets worse and worse.

Politicians like Bush and Obama, I am sure, have reached the habitual state. What used to be "spin" has become bald faced lies.


Hell they even hire other people to write their lies for them.

i agree, but the problem is that people know they are lying and don't care...

"all politicians lie" - wth does that mean? the public says it's ok if they lie? are we that casual about lying that we vote on the best liar now? i fail to understand...

he didn't say live, he said he saw before anyone else... it wasn't broadcast on the news till later...
