I don't think it's any different than the Twitter accounts of countless other politicians and public figures, many/most of which are actually ghost-written (e.g. http://twitter.com/SENJohnMcCain http://twitter.com/SENJohnMcCain , which uses the first person).
Anyone who thought that Obama was personally authoring his Twitter feed is a little naive, IMHO.
- silencio 17y agoIt is naïve, but it wasn't an uncommon belief that Obama might have personally authored at least a few of those tweets, and certainly nobody stopped anyone from believing that. Not that I care either way at this point what he does or has done with that Twitter account. I know plenty of other politicians and public figures have ghostwritten Twitter accounts. I was rather bummed to find out that the Mayor of LA had one ghostwritten while his office initially acted like he was either writing them himself or giving direct approval to tweets not written by him (and even a little drama over that whole incident).
