Official Obama Twitter Account Caught Following Semi-Erotic Website

President Barack Obama follows more than 679,000 profiles on Twitter and admittedly doesn’t run the day-to-day operations of the account. Still, one would assume semi-erotic websites would not meet the requirements for who is acceptable for the commander-in-chief to “follow.” But over the weekend it was revealed the president’s account was a follower of a not-so-innocent website.
The twitter account of Celebrity Sidebook, a website pointing followers to where they can see photos of side images of celebrities' breasts.
On Friday, the social news site Buzzfeed broke a story — screenshot included — that the president’s Twitter account was following the handle @sidebooborg. This Twitter account is associated with the website www.sideboob.org* that focuses on a “different way to look at celebrities.” More specifically, it posts photos captured of celebrities’ “side boobs.” Here’s what the BuzzFeed poster had to say:
I‘m not saying I don’t blame the man — celebrity side boob is enthralling, for sure — but the fact that our presidential twitter account is just as into glimpses of famous boobs as the rest of America is both comforting and a little suspect.
Now before you go and call the POTUS a heathen, this twitter account is by no means porn. [...]
In fact, the account doesn’t even tweet any actual photos of sideboob, just links to places that you can.

Now, in order for something to be actively followed on Twitter, the account user chooses to click the “follow” button, which would mean someone from the #2012Obama campaign staff that maintains the president’s account would have had to actively follow the site. However, what’s in doubt is whether someone intentionally wanted the president to follow the site, or if someone forgot they were logged into the president’s account when they hit the “follow” button.
Although the president may not manage the twitter account himself, he does post his own updates from time-to-time, distinguishing them from other posts by signing them “B.O.”
The managers of the account were quick to remedy the situation. As noted in a tweet by Celebrity Sideboob, @barackobama is no longer following the site.
International Business Times also found the hero mayor of Newark, New Jersey, Cory Booker, followed the site.
*We’ve decided not to link to the actual site, since some of the pictures are racy.

He has character, values and morals..which just proves that Obama has none of these quallities!! Hey Michele how does it feel to know your husband surrounds himself with those who hang with prostitutes and the like! And now we see he has erotic goodies on his web site! Come on people.. its so obvious that this man is corrupt in many different ways. He has made a filthy stain on our country! Lord help us remove this ilk from our White House!

Posted on April 16, 2012 at 1:22pmPlenty of evidence suggests he is gay…this may be coming from his spin doctors to counter some of the rumors..we”re now suppose to believe he’s just a regular guy looking at harmless soft porn……….Given Obama’s ability to completely cover his past from the public,we can assume no information on him gets out that is not meant to…this is just more damage control.

Does anyone wonder how many perverts among the radicals are striving to cause more and more chaos? In doing this the admin can try to pass the blame on a conservative having ‘hacked’ their account and thus have the excuse for further control demands on the internet.

Posted on April 16, 2012 at 12:16pmActually, The Blaze can be up to 5 days behind on some stories. I read the original article three days ago, and then the Secret Service thing broke on the MSM. I am hoping it is some divine hand guiding this mans hypocrisy and flagrant lack of respect for the office he holds into daylight. However, we will probably be deemed racists and the pervest (you know, blame the other people for what you are actually guilty of), and that this doesn’t reflect on him or our nation (hmm, Bill Clinton).

Posted on April 16, 2012 at 9:46amWho knows what secrets they are keeping about the president from the public. We may find out he was as promiscuous as Kennedy when he’s long gone or things even more insidious. How many congressmen do you think sit in their offices on capital hill and watch porn? we probably would be disgusted by the number. This is what happens when you take God out of Politics and society and since millions of people are addicted to porn, even Christians, we turn a blind eye and act as if it is not a big sin or a big deal. Politicians need to be held accountable for their morals or society crumbles. http://www.brendasblog7.com/home-page
