President Obama’s Twitter account has 18.8 million followers — but more than half of them really don’t exist, according to reports.<\/h2>\n

13,000,000 of Obama’s Twitter followers are FAKE. Why not? Makes perfect sense! 13 million little fakes following ONE BIG FAKE!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Wow, Obama’s hot on Twitter!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A new Web tool has determined that 70% of Obama’s crowd includes “fake followers,” The New York Times<\/em><\/a> reports in a story about how Twitter followers can be purchased.<\/p>\n

“The practice has become so widespread that StatusPeople, a social media management company in London, released a Web tool last month called the Fake Follower Check that it says can ascertain how many fake followers you and your friends have,” the Times<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n

“Fake accounts tend to follow a lot of people but have few followers,” said Rob Waller, a founder of StatusPeople. “We then combine that with a few other metrics to confirm the account is fake.”<\/p>\n

Notes the Times<\/em>:<\/p>\n

If accurate, the number of fake followers out there is surprising. According to the StatusPeople tool, 71 percent of Lady Gaga’s nearly 29 million followers are “fake” or “inactive.” So are 70 percent of President Obama’s nearly 19 million followers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
