Last night President Obama accepted the nomination to run for a second term as President of the United States. Once again the Democratic National Convention set a social media record. According to TechCrunch the President's speech garnered 52,757 Tweets per minute with the entire convention topping a total of 9 million.
"Here are some of the President’s biggest Twitter spikes:
-43,646: “I’m no longer just the candidate, I’m the President”
-39,002: “I will never turn medicare into a voucher”
-38,597: Discussing Medicare
-37,694: “We don’t think government can solve all our problems…”
-34,572: Quips about the Olympics and “Cold War mind warp”
If these numbers are any indication people seem to be getting fired up and ready to go.

No wonder that this is a perfect family to lead the world top country. "Check out Obama's New Anthem, Here [Link]," http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgHnqcq4eS0
Another ridiculous party dress worn by Michelle, wholly inappropriate for the occasion. The asymmetrical neckline is silly. Why does the mother always look like such a grouch in most photos? She reminds me of Mother Jefferson from the TV series.
@lavaughan you're still ridiculous I see. The First Lady looks beautiful & Mrs Robinson does not look like a grouch. FYI - real people don't spend their entire day smiling.
