Obama Thanks Facebook Fans for Birthday Card, Thousands Respond In Minutes
It appears a glitch on Facebook temporarily removed President Obama’s status update from earlier today. Either that or a member of Obama’s staff got a little trigger-happy and posted the news prematurely on Facebook. The update, which first appeared at 1:10 p.m. EST, stated, “Thank you for the birthday card and the well-wishes. It means so much to receive kind words from so many people.”
Within the first 12 minutes of being live, the update was averaging 1,000 interactions per minute – putting it on a blistering pace to likely be the most popular status update on Facebook for today.
