Obama Twitters No More?

If you should happen to be doing some idle Googling (?) as I was yesterday and if you should search for Twitter as I did (I was on a different computer and had forgotten its site address), you will notice that, at the time of writing, the second entry on the list is the name of Barack Obama himself.
Excited by this, I clicked on the link, expecting some micro-thoughts on his latest recruits, the ecoonomic crisis or even mundanities such as what he was having for breakfast. Disappointed was I to discover he hasn’t tweeted a single line since November 5th!
Now you would have thought that if he could tweet on a daily basis during the madness of a Presidential campaign, he might manage a line or two maybe even once a week during the more relaxed President Elect period.
Hold it! Wait a minute. Was November 5th about the time of his election? Please don’t tell me his Twitter account was just another piece of cynical political marketing? He wouldn’t do that! He’s the Change We Need. He wouldn’t do that. Would he?
