The President is quite popular on Twitter, or is he?

Just when we thought Michelle Obama’s 2 million fake Twitter followers were something to gawk at, her husband dwarfed her numbers 10-fold.

Among influential U.S. political tweeters, President Barack Obama is the undisputed king of the fake followers.
