Flotus and veep use social site like an email channel

First lady Michelle Obama and vice president Joe Biden have been using Twitter like a secondary email platform to get out the vote during this election cycle's last hours. The first lady has 2 million followers on Twitter, while Biden has 316,000, and the two political figures are direct messaging (DM) their audiences to re-elect President Barack Obama.

As is the case with any Twitter DM, the recipient must follow a political figure's account in order to get such messages.
